For those who would like to expand their use of Hiera to talk to a Consul server/cluster, British Gas Connected Home have made available a gem called bgch-hiera-consul on rubygems.
It derives from lynxman's hiera-consul, but works somewhat differently. It fulfils the hiera_hash and hiera_array functionality, and does all parsing of data in Consul value stores for you. Thus you can embed (currently) json or yaml directly and bgch-hiera-consul will populate your hiera variables (and thus puppet class parameters) for all of the sub entries. We use this, currently, for our development clusters, where we want to have a quick turnaround in our puppet process. Instead of editing yaml files, we can manually or automatically push values to our Consul store, and puppet will pick them up on the next run. Source and sample code are at https://github.com/ConnectedHomes/hiera-consul Any feedback, whether in questions, PRs, or complaints, will be appreciated.
