Issue #16856 has been updated by eric sorenson.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Investigating

Added a few people as Watchers who expressed interest in this. I followed up on 
the ML thread asking for feedback from people who've tried it. Seems neat, but 
for something that's a proposed module standard and a baked-in enhancement to 
puppet it'd be great to get some user testing in.

Feature #16856: puppet should support data in modules
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16856#change-75687

At present there is a way to store data in modules using the puppet backend for 
hiera but it is optional and kind of broken.  The site hierarchy impacts how 
the puppet backend behaves which makes it impossible for module authors to 
supply data in their modules they can rely on

I propose a new hiera backend that loads a hierarchy of data from the 'data' 
directory in the module, this module must always be present in a puppet 
install.  This ability is key to the ability to create configurable forge 
modules that do not have hard coded values thanks to the puppet 3 hiera 
integration
