FYI, just wanted to share this as it allows you to create defined types via hiera.
I built a hiera_manifest functionality at my job. Essentially it allows you to call modules, classes and parameters and defined types all via hiera yaml. I just put it up on Github to share: https://github.com/mlbam/hiera_manifest This has slight advantages in that parameters are also put in place at the time of invocation of the module, class or type. One thing to note is the difference in some syntax for resource definitions when using metaparameters. Also, when troubleshooting, the errors stick to the manifest sometimes and you don't get a proper error message for the module that throws the error.
