(#12122) Correctly fall through backends during loop When calling lookup for hash or array types Hiera would incorrectly return an empty result from a backend that did not find a value instead of checking the next backend. This happened because the empty hash and empty array were used internally to represent a failed lookup. This changes it to use nil everywhere. A distinct sentinel value would be ideal, but since Hiera currently has no way to communicate to the outside world the difference between lookup up nil and a failed lookup, it is sufficient to use nil internally. (#12122) Merge arrays and hashes across backends This implements merging for arrays and hashes across the returned values for all backends, using the same logic as merging within a backend. ## Hiera 1.0.0rc4 Changelog ## Kelsey Hightower (7): cdd7364 (#14867) Add windows support 1b7f787 Add specs for Hiera::Util 07366d8 Use File::ALT_SEPARATOR to test platform 92a148f (maint) Fix failing Hiera::Util specs fcd3d2c (maint) Hiera now has a LICENSE file 4698cf1 (#15105) Update README YAML examples 6887137 (maint) Add Getting Started tutorial Matthaus Litteken (5): d0fcc57 Add default config to hiera ca47463 Remove datadir value in hiera.yaml 7947dd6 Consolidate changelog, update erb templates 091fea3 Overhaul Hiera packaging 772ff45 Update CHANGELOG for 1.0.0rc4 Patrick Carlisle (2): 480d86c (#12122) Correctly fall through backends during loop 16c3dd3 (#12122) Merge arrays and hashes across backends Timur Batyrshin (1): 3ec4165 match data in puppet ${::fact} style to get rid of puppet deprecation warnings -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
