Craig Dunn commented on HI-582   Re: Make hiera.yaml aware of key Laura Macchi Thanks for bringing this up - yes the current 2.x hiera-mysql end is no longer compatible with Hiera 5, I don't think it's worth rolling a fix into the 2.x code because if people are on Hiera 5 they should be migrating to Hiera 5 configs, and since the issue doesn't affect anyone on Puppet < 4.9, I think the best way is to move forward with a Hiera 5 backend I've just released hiera-mysql 3.0.0 (https://forge.puppet.com/crayfishx/hiera_mysql/readme) - this will take a little more configuration on your side as you'll need to migrate your existing Hiera 3 config to Hiera 5 (https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/5.1/hiera_migrate.html). Using this version you will be able to interpolate keys into your query with "_KEY_". There are also some other features that weren't available before that you might find useful. Please read the README on the module with regards to behaviour of lookups as there may be some subtle differences to take into account. Note also that hiera-mysql 3.0.0 is shipped as a Puppet module, not a gem (although the gem dependencies are unchanged) I'm happy to help with any issues you have with this or any features you think this backend should have. Feel free to reach out to me.
