HIera Debugging Tool

[Lee Lowder]

All,

I've been working on a Hiera debugging tool, and it's now at the point where I consider it to be a "minimally viable product".

Currently it will work with Puppet Enterprise and Open Source Puppet, and you can supply identity for nodes by supplying YAML, JSON or a user (which will be used to get data from MCollective).

When invoked, it will give you a list of all hiera(), hiera_array() and hiera_hash() calls and as of recently, also will do a lookup on all class params. These look ups will be done for every node the master is aware of.

The current version is 0.2.1, and is available at https://github.com/llowder/glowing-octo-ninja

The next set of features I am considering adding are:

 - Ability to look up the value of a single key across all nodes

 - Ability to lookup the value of all keys for a specific node

I'll be adding both, but I wanted to see which would be considered more useful so I know which to add first. I'll be working on improving performance, error handling and unit/regression tests.

Comments and suggestions are much welcome, and hopefully this will be a useful tool.
