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).
