Puppet users - May 2014 - Recursive hiera lookups with Arrays and Hashes

All,

I've just patched Hiera to allow recursive lookups of Arrays and Hashes.

https://github.com/onyxpoint/hiera/commit/a00c9e4ef0e033d1012c95fda028412eeb425ce4

For my uses, this patch works properly, however, it hasn't gotten buy off
from the Hiera team yet.

This allows you to do the following:

---
foo :
  - 'one'
  - 'two'

bar : %{hiera('foo')}

Result:

hiera foo => [ 'one', 'two' ]
hiera bar => ['one', 'two' ]

There is no merging of arrays or hashes if you nest the entries and if you
use an array entry on the left hand side of a lookup you'll probably end up
with a Hiera entry that you can't reference.

Thanks,

Trevor
