Title: Message Title

David Watzke created an issue   Hiera / HI-516 Hiera: comma-separated numbers treated as Fixnum and serialized strangely Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: HI 3.2.0, HI 1.3.4 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2016/06/01 5:29 AM Environment: CentOS 6, Arch Linux testing Priority: Normal Reporter: David Watzke Hi. I stumbled upon a weird behavior of hiera. If I put xyz: 1,2,3 into a hiera yaml and then lookup the value of xyz, I get 123 (Fixnum type) instead of '1,2,3' (String type) ... this is kind of strange, isn't it? Especially since Ruby outputs a yaml key containing a string value '1,2,3' unquoted (xyz: 1,2,3) so this behavior seems inconsistent to me. Is this intentional? If so, is it documented somewhere?
