If I have the hierarchy of

- common
- nodes/"%{fqdn}"
- datacenter/"%{fdatacenter}"

if in common.yaml I have "module::parms::server: server1" and in 
nodes/myclient.yaml I have "module::parms::server: server2" and in 
datacenter/NYCA.yaml (and the host presents NYCA as its datacenter) I 
have "module::parms::server: server3" which value will be presented for 
host myclient?


I could have sworn I read the lower down the list of hierarchy a value 
was it would override the one above it. I just read this morning that 
hiera stops at the first value it finds which is a bit of a problem for 
what I'm trying to accomplish.




Hiera has always gone from top to bottom in the list in hiera.yaml
and it returns the first found.

You want "common" (the default) to be last in the list.
