    Goodness_function expects integer or float else raise parseException. This
    causes example such as "(share.share_proto == 'CIFS') ? 100 : 50" to fail
    during evaluation. Fix it by adding support of string evalution.
Fix DriverFilter/GoodnessWeigher string evaluations When trying to compare two values that are non-numeric using the driver filter, the filter function will give an error. This is not desirable as it might be interesting to support comparatives with non-numeric values provided by the filter objects (share, host, etc). For example, the following formula failed before the fix: filter_function = '(share.project_id == "bb212f09317a4f4a8952ef3f729c2551")' Copied from cinder https://opendev.org/openstack/cinder/commit/87a7e80a2cbc4c8abcf4394242a02fcc5140e44b Closes-Bug: #1975715 Change-Id: Icbfabb3bc0f608ebdd0784337db0921cc7763c53 2022-05-25 11:38:46 +02:00			`---`
