Description

AMBARI-18366 introduced a pattern to match in when converting properties to YAML which looks for Maps of Maps. Example:

foo : 
  bar : 
    [baz]
  foobar :
    [biz]

However, this does not take into account non-word characters such as dashes. The regex should be revised to look for specific markers for the map-within-a-map, allowing for non-space characters as keys. The following should pass:

storm-cluster  :  
  hosts:
    [c6401.ambari.apache.org, c6402.ambari.apache.org, c6403-master.ambari.apache.org]
  groups:
    [hadoop, hadoop-secure]
