override_options overriding defaults?

[wgregorian]

Is it the intention that when you use override_options, the default options in my.cnf are stripped out? I've observed that when I use the example below, the defaults specified in params.pp are removed.

    class { 'mysql::server':
            override_options => { 'mysqld' => { 'max_connections' => '1024',
                                                'datadir' => '/var/lib/mysql/data' }
                    },
            }

this is the issue with the lack of a recursive merge function as described in issue #274. Your mysqld directive is effectively destroying the default mysqld hash in defaults. I have submitted puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib#186 to add a deep_merge function to stdlib and then we can patch puppetlabs-mysql to use it.

Ah. I should have looked before asking. Thanks!
