Description

When posting a command such as

{
  "RequestInfo": {
    "action": "check_host", 
    "context": "Check host", 
    "parameters": {
      "check_execute_list": "host_resolution_check", 
      "hosts": "c6401.ambari.apache.org, c6402.ambari.apache.org, c6403.ambari.apache.org, foobar", 
      "threshold": "20"
    }
  }, 
  "Requests/resource_filters": [
    {
      "hosts": "c6401.ambari.apache.org,c6402.ambari.apache.org"
    }
  ]

The returned result from the custom action has some integer values coerced into floats:

    "structured_out" : {
      "host_resolution_check" : {
        "exit_code" : "0",
        "failed_count" : 0.0,
        "failures" : [ ],
        "message" : "All hosts resolved to an IP address.",
        "success_count" : 4.0
      }

The structured_output written out to disk does NOT have the float values:

{"host_resolution_check": {"failures": [], "message": "All hosts resolved to an IP address.", "failed_count": 0, "success_count": 4, "exit_code": "0"}}

Therefore this is a problem with the framework and not the command.
