:ghost: Brief Description

I have declared parameters as hash as shown below, after the chef ran these parameters are not reflected in the varnish config.

  parameters = { 'thread_pool_min' => '5',
     'thread_pool_max' => '5000',
     'thread_pool_timeout' => '300' }

Tried the following definition which updated the varnish config but chef lint resulted in an error

  parameters ({ 'thread_pool_min' => '5',
     'thread_pool_max' => '5000',
     'thread_pool_timeout' => '300' })

Lint error:

recipes/varnishinstall.rb:22:13: W: Lint/ParenthesesAsGroupedExpression: (...) interpreted as grouped expression.
  parameters ({
            ^
