Indeed. As you discovered, the hiera() function (and automated data
binding) perform priority lookups. If you want array- or hash-merge
lookups then you need to use the appropriate function specific to that kind
of lookup. This is an acknowledged limitation of Hiera -- in practice, the
appropriate type of lookup for a given key is usually a property of the
data, but there is no built-in way to represent that alongside the data.
The data consumer somehow just has to know. This is an especial problem
for automated data binding, where you cannot even directly control the type
of lookup performed.
Anyway, I'm glad you've got it sorted. Yay!
