Support version 4 hiera config

[mafgh]

When trying to use hiera-eyaml with hiera.yaml version 4 I am getting the following error:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/foo/hiera.yaml: No data provider is registered for backend 'eyaml' on node puppet.bc

hiera.yaml:

    ---
    version: 4
    
    datadir: "data"
    
    hierarchy:
      - name: "node/%{trusted.certname}"
        backend: "yaml"
      - name: "encrypted"
        backend: "eyaml"
      - name: "common"
        backend: "yaml"

I am also getting this issue. @mafgh any luck?

[mafgh]

@athingisathing no. we ended up using hiera config version 3, partly because of eyaml, partly because puppet lookup gave us some strange results.

The new lookup system does not support hiera-eyaml, so that's why you got the error. You can follow the work to add it here : https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-7100

Thanks @ahpook for that link I was actually looking for that information and found it here :)

This issue is probably invalid though, the issue is with Puppet/Hiera not hiera-eyaml.

Hiera4 has been deprecated long ago and hiera-eyaml does support hiera5. I guess this issue can be closed?
