Hiera does not classify nodes. You need a site manifest or an ENC, or
both. You can use Hiera similarly to an ENC, however, with a little bit of
glue in your site manifest. Supposing that an array of the classes
designated for a given node are available via array-merge lookup of the
hiera key 'classes', as you show, you can put this at the top level of the
site manifest:
hiera_include('classes')
Given that, it is conceivable that you could do without anything else in
your site manifest, and without an actual ENC.
Note that the 'classes' key is not special to Hiera. It is distinguished
from any other random string only by the way your manifests *use* it.
