> Configs set to false do not always evaluate to false.
> -----------------------------------------------------

> Key: STORM-683
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-683
> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans
> Priority: Blocker
>
> We just ran into a situation where for a specific boolean config a user was
> setting it to false, and it was evaluating as true.
> Turns out this is expected behavior
> http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1640
> The issue comes up that (Boolean. false) is not the same as Boolean/FALSE and
> can evaluate to true, but the way we deserialize the config (using JSON) all
> the booleans are the bad form.
> Ideally we cleanup the deserialization code to look for booleans and
> translate them to the appropriate values. This feels cleaner than trying to
> have every place we access a config try to convert it first.
