[chef] Environment-specific Data bag?

[Benoit Caron < >]

Is it possible to have different values in a data bag per environment?

I find it tricky to change something in the structure of a data bag: I can test the cookbook changes in my dev environment, but pushing the databag to my chef-server makes it available to the production nodes, which don't know about the change.

This could also be a way to have different values for the respective environments (like say, a different path, IP address, etc.). 

Or am I using the data bag incorrectly?
