Hi everyone,

So while calling createBrickCommand playbook from ovirt-engine (createBrickCommand.java) a parameter called disks are constructed to parse a list of disks.

Its implementation contains a class variable ArrayNode which uses JsonNodeFactory,  from jackson-mapper dependency . 

Usually parsing of disks to playbook would contain a list of disks, but now it's parsing the absurd values of JsonNodeFactory, and parsing a weird dictionary:-

Snip of the parameters parsed from ovirt-engine  to ansible-runner

<snip>
elements': [{'textValue': '/dev/sdc', 'binaryValue': '/dev/sdc', 'textual': True, 'valueNode': True, 'numberType': None, 'elements': [], 'array': False, 'fields': [], 'null': False, 'binary': False, 'booleanValue': False, 'numberValue': None, 'decimalValue': 0, 'bigIntegerValue': 0, 'valueAsText': '/dev/sdc', 'valueAsInt': 0, 'valueAsLong': 0, 'valueAsDouble': 0.0, 'valueAsBoolean': False, 'containerNode': False, 'missingNode': False, 'pojo': False, 'number': False, 'integralNumber': False, 'floatingPointNumber': False, 'int': False, 'long': False, 'double': False, 'bigDecimal': False, 'bigInteger': False, 'boolean': False, 'object': False, 'fieldNames': [], 'longValue': 0, 'doubleValue': 0.0, 'intValue': 0}], 'array': True, 'valueAsText': None, 'containerNode': True, 'numberType': None, 'fields': [], 'null': False, 'binary': False, 'textValue': None, 'binaryValue': None, 'booleanValue': False, 'numberValue': None, 'decimalValue': 0, 'bigIntegerValue': 0, 'valueAsInt': 0, 'valueAsLong': 0, 'valueAsDouble': 0.0, 'valueAsBoolean': False, 'valueNode': False, 'missingNode': False, 'pojo': False, 'number': False, 'integralNumber': False, 'floatingPointNumber': False, 'int': False, 'long': False, 'double': False, 'bigDecimal': False, 'bigInteger': False, 'textual': False, 'boolean': False, 'object': False, 'fieldNames': [], 'longValue': 0, 'doubleValue': 0.0, 'intValue': 0}
</snip>


these values represent the Class variables of JsonNodeFactory class in the Jackson-mapper dependency instantiated from ArrayNode in CreateBrickCommand.java class.

Is my understanding flawed, or did we upgrade to a maybe corrupted dependency? or does this have any other problem which I missed out on?
