Define multiple puppetdb servers in hiera

[Szparki]

Use Case

As far as I know as of now you can only define a single PuppetDB server in hieradata, I have two PuppetDB servers for the same Puppet Master. It would be good to support two or more.

Describe the Solution You Would Like

support something like the following in hiera:

puppet_db:
  server
    - server1
    - server2
    - server N

Then in the manifest file we can do the following:

$puppet_db = hiera_hash('puppet_db')

  class { 'puppet::server::puppetdb':
      * => $puppet_db 
    }

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

Not managing /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppetdb.conf with this module

Additional Context

Maybe there is a solution for this that I couldn't find in the documentation

I was able to do a workaround using the the following in hieradata:

puppet_db:
  puppetdb_server: 'server1:8081/,https://server2
  puppetdb_port: 8081

And using puppetdb::master::config class in manifest:

  class { 'puppetdb::master::config':
      * => $puppet_db 
  }

Didn't this break the puppetdb_conn_validator type? https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-puppetdb/blob/143dc4289ab6f1854e1cb0a8e92f57780ee06235/manifests/master/config.pp#L175
