hiera_hash, lookup, Hiera 5

[Daniel Urist]

I have been using ":merge_behavior: deeper" in my hiera.yaml file to turn on deep hash merges with hiera_hash, but now this appears to be broken.

The latest docs (at https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.9/lookup_quick.html) suggest using the lookup() function, but then state this:

IMPORTANT: These docs are outdated, and replacement pages are coming soon. Puppet lookup is now called Hiera 5, and it works differently from what’s described on this page.

So, how do I get hiera hash merges right now? I'm on debian jessie with the following versions:

puppetserver  2.7.2-1puppetlabs1

puppet-agent 1.9.1-1jessie

I also have clients running the puppet agent from jessie backports, version 3.8.5-2~bpo8+1, but I'm assuming this problem is on the server side.

Puppet 4.9.0/4.9.1 went out with a number of issues related to hiera.
All reported problems (including breaking deeper merges) have now been
fixed and there is a 4.9.2 release any minute now...

Please retry on Puppet 4.9.2
