Jira (HI-582) Make hiera.yaml aware of key

Title: Message Title

Laura Macchi created an issue   Hiera / HI-582 Make hiera.yaml aware of key Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/09/14 9:57 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Laura Macchi In the past, hiera.yaml was aware of % {key}, which allowed to write custom backends with options like this: :query: SELECT val FROM configdata WHERE var='%{key} '   With hiera 5, hiera.yaml is not aware of key, so when that option gets to the function, it looks like: :query: SELECT val FROM configdata WHERE var='' Customers that use the [mysql backend](https://github.com/crayfishx/hiera-mysql), for example, cannot use it in hiera 5 and writing one without key relies in a very inflexible implementation, since the query needs to be hardcoded inside the function code.
