Any suggestions on how to parse lists, booleans etc on the command line?
Should we recognize the config value type simply by parsing a prefix such as
`(list)` or `(boolean)`, or do some guessing on the type?
Also, what about `backtype.storm.Config`-included properties? Should we
introspect (via reflection) the corresponding property value type in
`backtype.storm.Config` and then convert it to that type? See Pascal's comment
and code
[here](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-173?focusedCommentId=13900881&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13900881).
I do like his approach and have already modified and included his code into
Storm's `Utils.java`.
Let me know if I can include these changes in this pull request.
