Hiera is a key-value lookup system for Puppet configuration data. Its main purpose is to separate configuration values from Puppet code (manifests). Config values can be defined on different levels of hierarchy (e.g. datacenter, cluster, host), which are merged together upon lookup, allowing values from more specific levels (e.g. host) to replace or extend values from less specific levels (e.g. datacenter).
