pillar merging

0

I would expect:

ubuntu@car-salt-01:/vagrant/tg-salt/pillar$ sudo salt 'car-salt-01' pillar.items | grep -A10 base:
    base:
        ----------
        val1:
            A
        val2:
            B
        val3:
            3
        val4:
            D

however I got :

ubuntu@car-salt-01:/vagrant/tg-salt/pillar$ sudo salt 'car-salt-01' pillar.items | grep -A10 base:
    base:
        ----------
        val1:
            1
        val2:
            2
        val3:
            3
        val4:
            D

How do we use a base pillar for default values and then override them for the local datacenter (in this case car)?

base-monkey.sls

#!jinja|yaml|gpg

base:
  val1: 1
  val2: 2
  val3: 3

car-monkey.sls

base:
  val1: A
  val2: B
  val4: D

car:
  'car-*':
    - monkey
ubuntu@car-salt-01:/vagrant/tg-salt/pillar$ cat base/top.sls
base:
  '*':
    - monkey
