Title: Message Title

Chris Price created an issue   Hiera / HI-523 Add support for using hocon for main hiera config file Issue Type: Task Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2016/07/07 10:24 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Chris Price This is a follow-up to HI-341 and related tickets. After that work is completed, we will have the ability to use HOCON for hiera data files, but the main hiera config file will still be expressed as YAML. It would be nice to optionally support HOCON for the main hiera config as well. In order to do this in a backward-compatible way, we should probably try to alter the logic that currently loads the hiera.yaml file so that it looks first for a hiera.conf file, and if it finds it, parses it as HOCON. If it doesn't find it, it should fall back to the current logic for reading the YAML file. There will probably be changes required in both the hiera and puppet projects to achieve this; after we investigate a bit further, it might be reasonable to create a separate PUP ticket for those changes.
