FluentRecordFormatter fails, when given a string, which contains only numbers.

[redlolgeerf]

Simple script to illustrate:

import os
import logging
from fluent import handler


FLUENT_HOST = os.getenv('FLUENT_HOST', 'fluentd-logger')
FLUENT_PORT = int(os.getenv('FLUENT_PORT', 24224))
FLUENT_TAG = os.getenv('FLUENT_TAG', 'docker.docker-tag')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    logger = logging.getLogger('fluent.test')
    h = handler.FluentHandler(FLUENT_TAG, host=FLUENT_HOST, port=FLUENT_PORT, verbose=True)
    formatter = handler.FluentRecordFormatter()
    h.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(h)

    logger.info('1')

It looks weird. I will check it later.
Of course, patches are welcome :)

I found same problem。

json.loads causes this behaviour.
I'm not sure why json.loads("1") doesn't raise an exception unlike json.loads("str").
BTW, I released v0.4.5 including this fix.

yes, that is strange, thank you for update.

1 is valid JSON, and str is not. (but "str" is valid).
