I have provided the ..yaml file which includes above 'nodes' object in

I have want to load another data object into my puppet template but the
problem is that data object is in a .yaml file which is not registered
in my hiera.yaml file. I cannot register that file in my hiera.yaml.

Is there anyway to load data object providing the file along with the
lookup method. I do know the .yaml file name that object is in ?


You are in Ruby, so you can just load the yaml directly. No need to involve hiera unless you need some kind of hierarchy / method of overriding what is in your yaml file. For how to load a yaml file using Ruby, you will find lots of examples if you google for it.

If you want to do lookups from within the puppet language you need a function that does the loading. (I think there is one in stdlib).
