Well no, what *I* say is *what* problem? Hiera has no problem whatever
providing hashes to Puppet, including for automatic data binding. If the
value associated with a given key in your data is a hash, then that's what
Hiera provides. That has always worked, and it is more flexible now than
ever.

If you want the config_hash parameter of class postgresql::server to
receive that hash via automated data binding, then you need two things:
1. You need appropriate data. For example:
postgresql::server::config_hash:
shared_buffers: '512MB'
work_mem: '16MB'
2. You need any applicable resource-like declaration of class
postgresql::server in the manifest set to not itself bind a value to the
config_hash parameter.
It's not clear to me why you're shooting straight past that toward more
complicated and riskier possibilities.
