After changing hierarchy inhiera.yaml puppet master tries to find yaml files according to the old config, even though

hiera my_key --debug

provides expected output according to new hiera.yaml

Is there a way how to force refreshing master cache?

Currently fastest solution:

rm /var/lib/puppet/client_data/catalog/*

The above provided code is helpful when puppet client keeps doing commands that are already vanished from puppetmaster .pp files.

You will have to restart the Puppet master process anytime you make changes to hiera.yaml.

what if I server puppet master over nginx and passenger?

you can touch /path/to/puppet/tmp/restart.txt in the application dir if you know where that is. It should cause Passenger to restart all the Rack processes running ...(more)
