The idea is to separate the data from Hiera away from the modules directory. I
am using the hiera-puppet backend, without the yaml backend. So, I have found
that the :hierarchy: allows me to have the data inside a module itself.
According to the example inside hiera-puppet module, if you define:
:backends: - puppet
:hierarchy: - %{location}
- %{environment}
- common
:puppet:
:datasource: data
Then the hiera data is searched within:
* class data::dc2
* class data::production
* class data::common
* class ntp::config::data
* class ntp::data
Which is exactly what I wanted to do... but I did not want to have the "data"
module with the rest of the modules (it's hiera data anyway) so I created a
directory manifests/data to put those files. Maybe I should have called hiera,
but data is just fine. It is not imported automatically, so those files need
to be imported by hand. And if I use globbing, I may have surprises later
because of that known problem with globbing (that require a touch on the
site.pp).
If there is a more elegant way to proceed, I'm happy to hear!
