Alex Elman commented on an issue   Re: Hiera 'deeper' merge knockout only knocks out from closest array Here's a concrete example of this. Say I have a hash in Hiera called widgets. Within the hash, there is an array called list. in host.yaml widgets: list: - stamps - shoelaces - markers - ---socks in datacenter.yaml widgets: list: - marbles - zipties and in global.yaml widgets: list: - crayons - buttons - carkeys - money - socks Our hierarchy looks like :hierarchy: - host - datacenter - global The idea is that we knock out the member socks which global contributes to the merged array. Unfortunately socks remains in the array. The result: + crayons buttons carkeys money socks marbles zipties stamps shoelaces markers What I desire: + crayons buttons carkeys money marbles zipties stamps shoelaces markers I turned on merge_debug to show this behavior in action.
