            With the introduction of Hiera 5 there were errors if a module or environment root contained a hiera.yaml in the hiera 3 format. These files were never used earlier, but now those files are part of the hiera 5 configuration. The issue is fixed by ignoring the files if they are version 3 and by logging a warning when encountered. Best practice is to migrate to hiera 5, and otherwise to move those files out of the way.

            Description

            This is a regression when upgrading from the 2016.4.x LTS to 2016.4.5. Puppet version 4.10.1 runs fail when an hiera.yaml version 3 file is found in the module. For a number of reasons, customers may have hiera.yaml files in modules and the environment. There should be a warning about the version and it should be ignores instead of causing a failure.

            Impact
            Customers that upgrade to the latest LTS which have hiera.yaml 3 files in their modules will have failures. The upgrade should allow for customers to migrate into a hiera 5 type environment without failures.
