/usr/libexec/os-refresh-config/configure.d/40-hiera-datafiles converts large numbers wrongly

[Michele Baldessari]

Given a mapped_data extraconfig like this one:
   "extraconfig": {
    "mapped_data": {
     "rabbitmq_config_variables": {
      "queue_master_locator": "<<\"min-masters\">>",
      "loopback_users": [],
      "vm_memory_high_watermark": 0.5,
      "rates_mode": "detailed",
      "stats_event_max_backlog": 250,
      "tcp_listen_options": "[binary, {packet, raw}, {reuseaddr, true}, {backlog, 128}, {nodelay, true}, {exit_on_close, false}, {keepalive, true}]",
      "disk_free_limit": 2000000000,
      "cluster_partition_handling": "pause_minority",
      "collect_statistics_interval": 30000
     },

The 40-hiera-datafiles script will convert the large integer 'disk_free_limit' like this:
rabbitmq_config_variables: {
  "collect_statistics_interval": 30000,
  "queue_master_locator": "<<\"min-masters\">>",
  "loopback_users": [],
  "vm_memory_high_watermark": 0.5,
  "rates_mode": "detailed",
  "stats_event_max_backlog": 250,
  "tcp_listen_options": "[binary, {packet, raw}, {reuseaddr, true}, {backlog, 128}, {nodelay, true}, {exit_on_close, false}, {keepalive, true}]",
  "disk_free_limit": 2e+09,
  "cluster_partition_handling": "pause_minority"
}

Which will break the rabbitmq service as it cannot parse '2e+09'. This was first observed on newton

Quoting the large number fixes it

Ok so this is a jq bug:
# echo '{"id" : 1241000000}' | jq '.'
{
  "id": 1.241e+09
}

It does not seem that this will be fixed anytime soon

The JSON Query (jq) bug is still present and outside of TripleO's control.
