    • Deprecation
    • As a result of "lookup" being the preferred way to manage data from now on, the hiera_xxx family of functions now issue deprecation warnings in favour of lookup().
    • No Action
    • covered by unit tests; deprecations

    Description

      All hiera_xxx functions should be deprecated under the control of --strict where for puppet 4.8.0 both strict=error and strict=warning should issue a deprecation warning (not error).
      This may change to an error in a later release.

      The deprecation should state that the lookup function should be used instead with a suitable example per hiera function, or offer a link to documentation/ticket (nick.fagerlund what is the recommended way of doing this now - still the google links?).
