You can use hiera on the command line to directly look up values, and you
can feed it a file to use different facts.
On the client:
sudo facter -p -y > facts.yml
This tells facter to gather facts, using additional puppet facts (-p) and
to output them in a yaml format (-y). In my instance I had to use sudo to
get the additional puppet facts, but that may not hold for your setup.
Transfer facts.yml to the puppet master.
On the puppet master:
hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml -y facts.yml the::key::i::want
This runs hiera using your puppet hiera config (-c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml)
and loads in facts from a yaml format file (-y facts.yml).
This should adequately simulate the process used during catalog compilation
and give you the appropriate value. I don't know if this will approximate
hiera_array, but it's a start.
