DynamicPropertyUpdater: ClassCastException bug on line 134

[darekmydlarz]

Hey, there is a bug in DynamicPropertyUdpater:134: https://github.com/Netflix/archaius/blob/master/archaius-core/src/main/java/com/netflix/config/DynamicPropertyUpdater.java#L134

When newValue is not a String, but for instance Integer it throws ClassCastException

@dmydlarz do you have a special use case for a non-string valued property? From the code itself, it definitely will throw exception as you said. But Archaius itself has an assumption that the root property value is always string (follow Java properties convention).

I had the same issue. It was caused by "blah: false" property in bootstrap.yml config file.
