Hi, Looking at 'ceph osd metadata' I see that we return a lot of values as Strings in the JSON instead of a Integer, for example: $ ceph osd metadata 2033 { "id": 2033, "arch": "x86_64", "journal_rotational": "0", "mem_swap_kb": "1046524", "mem_total_kb": "63641808", "rotational": "1" } Looking at some code I found this: (*m)["mem_total_kb"] = std::to_string(size); (*pm)["rotational"] = store_is_rotational ? "1" : "0"; (*pm)["journal_rotational"] = journal_is_rotational ? "1" : "0"; Why can't we return a int/long there? Is it the internal JSON parser which can't handle it? Otherwise I'll write a PR for this. Saves me casting the things to Integers again afterwards in Python.
