I am confused, it was my understanding that hiera is necessary on all of the

However, after reading the docs, they seem to indicate this is not the

Would someone kindly verify this requirement for me?
My understanding is now that we do NOT need to install hiera on the agent
nodes.
Is this correect?
Starting with Puppet 3, hiera is included in puppet, so you do not
need to install it[1]. The confusion is likely because Hiera had to be
installed separately when used with Puppet 2.7. There was also a
dependency on hiera-puppet, but that too is unnecessary in Puppet 3.
Note puppet uses hiera to retrieve data during catalog compilation. In
agent/master setups, compilation occurs on the master. The install (if
on Puppet 2.7) and configuration (2.7 & 3.x) need to be done on the
master[2]
