Is there a way to read multiple hiera file from a datadir location?

[Sans]

Hi all,

Is there way to use multiple Hiera data-source yaml from a fixed location like: /etc/puppet/sites/clients/ ?

I see having something like this:

:hierarchy:
    - "clients/*"
    - default

doesn't really work for Hiera. The issues for me There gonna be 100s of .yaml in there and I don't want to over load my hiera.yaml with 100s of entries or edit that file every time we add new client's data. Or is there way to use RegEx name? I don't care in what order they are executed. How do I deal with this situation? Best!

Add a build step that concatenates/combines all of your data files into
one file. Reference that file in your hiera.yaml.

Alernatively write your own backend that loads all of the files and
merges the result.
