Hi, as described there[1], the new hiera hook is a breaking change in in ocata. As there hasn't been a deprecation period, we have to make any error very user friendly. Currently the template deployment are just stuck. This bug should make sure that we have such mechanism in place. Steve Hardy suggested that 99-refresh-completed could be a good candidate to signal the error. A strong documentation should go with this change.

AFAICS we still need to cherrypick this to ocata, as I can't see it in [3] and my just upgraded OSP11 undercloud with openstack-heat-agents-1.0.0-2.el7ost.noarch doesn't have the fix. I just posted the cherrypick at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/450195/ As discussed on the openstack-dev mailing list at [1] we remove any existing data during the newton to ocata upgrade with [2] so the remaining cherrypick is just for deployments starting at ocata thanks
