Issue #16856 has been updated by Stefan Goethals.
Hi,
I created patch files on a clone of git://github.com/ripienaar/puppet.git
git format-patch b22eb3c443d1161653f58c270dee1b5f88676c5f
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12255 Dec 27 13:03
0001-16856-Add-a-module-data-directory-and-hiera-backend-.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5876 Dec 27 13:03
0002-16856-Add-a-module-data-directory-and-hiera-backend-.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1063 Dec 27 13:03
0003-16856-Add-a-module-data-directory-and-hiera-backend-.patch
Applying them on the latest git clone of puppet with
git am -3 /tmp/patches/*
then building the rpms.
The Hiera-in module and standard hiera lookups work as expected.
But the 'inherits' method now seems broken.
<pre>
class test (
$testvar = 'blah',
$ttt = $test::data::ttt,
) inherits ::test::data
{
notify { "Test module -testvar- .... :${testvar}:": }
notify { "Test module - ttt - .... :${ttt}:": }
}
</pre>
<pre>
class test::data {
$ttt = '::test::data:ttt is a var with this as the val'
}
</pre>
This gives the following error

Feature #16856: puppet should support data in modules
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16856#change-79757
Author: R.I. Pienaar
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: R.I. Pienaar

Target version:
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords:
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1217
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
