I don't like to be the naysayer, but I don't like to let that stand - hiera is not some third party mashup you can loosely tie to puppet. It's been designed by our very own R.I. Pienaar for the sole purpose of *relieving* you from the burden of managing your data inside nodes.pp (of course, as long as it works, you're free to choose to do that anyway). My understanding is that come puppet 3.0, hiera will be a first classe citizen and part of the puppet core proper. It's actually a supposedly superior way to store node data than manifest variables. Please don't get me wrong - everyone should find what works best for themselves, and by all means stick to it. Only meant to point out that hiera is an awesome concept that shouldn't be dismissed.
