Jira (HI-118) There's no way to set resolution_type when using data bindings

Title: Message Title

Rob Nelson commented on HI-118   Re: There's no way to set resolution_type when using data bindings At the contributor's summit last week, Henrik, Felix, Vanessa and myself hashed out a potential solution. Our proposal requires two pieces. In puppet.conf's master section, hiera_advanced_parameter_bindings must be set to true. [master] hiera_advanced_parameter bindings = true If a key of lookupoptions::<key> is found and it contains the hash key 'merge' with a valid value (typically 'deep'), the APL merge strategy is set to the specified value. This key can be found anywhere but it is suggested to be placed in a more specific location, to give per-tier control over the merge strategy (i.e. do not set it in global/common, set it in a clientcert or datacenter/network/etc. type hierarchy level). It would look like this: lookupoptions::mysql::server::overrideoptions: merge: deep Then, any keys matching <key> would be found during APL and merged using the specified behavior. You can see the few changes required to make the APL lookups work at https://github.com/ffrank/puppet/commit/9ba281986f88cb9d889fa02a650779ef92d0b6eb. If this proposal is accepted, the puppet.conf setting and tests can be generated and docs fleshed out, but I'd like to know if this proposal is sufficient before fleshing out the changes and tweaking debug messages, etc. Thanks to Henrik, Vanessa, and Felix for their assistance during the summit!
