You should be able to just use the normal hiera syntax. example:
hiera('nodes', 'default_value', 'nodes/host1234')
Documented here:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/functions/hiera.rb
Also, its bad practice to lookup hiera from within a template. Put the
value in a puppet variable and then just use the variable in the template.
This way the next person will not have to troubleshoot your template.
