> Hi all, I'm working on some automated analysis of the clusterdump output using '-of = JSON'. While digging into the structure of the representation of the data I've noticed something that seems a little odd to me.
> In order to access the data for a particular cluster, the 'cluster', 'n', 'c' & 'r' values are all in one continuous string. For example:
> {noformat}
> {"cluster":"VL-10515{n=5924 c=[action:0.023, adherence:0.223, administration:0.011 r=[action:0.446, adherence:1.501, administration:0.306]}"}
> {noformat}
> This is also the case for the "point":
> {noformat}
> {"point":"013FFD34580BA31AECE5D75DE65478B3D691D138 = [body:6.904, harm:10.101]","vector_name":"013FFD34580BA31AECE5D75DE65478B3D691D138","weight":"1.0"}
> {noformat}
> This leads me to believe that the only way I can get to the individual data in these items is by string parsing. For JSON deserialization I would have expected to see something along the lines of:
> {noformat}
> {
>     "cluster":"VL-10515",
>     "n":5924,
>     "c":
>     [
>         {"action":0.023},
>         {"adherence":0.223},
>         {"administration":0.011}
>     ],
>     "r":
>     [
>         {"action":0.446},
>         {"adherence":1.501},
>         {"administration":0.306}
>     ]
> }
> {noformat}
> and:
> {noformat}
> {
>     "point": {
>         "body": 6.904,
>         "harm": 10.101
>     },
>     "vector_name": "013FFD34580BA31AECE5D75DE65478B3D691D138",
>     "weight": 1.0
> } 
> {noformat}

> Looks like a bug to me as well; I would have expected something similar to
> what you were expecting except maybe something like this which puts the "c"
> and "r" values in objects rather than arrays of single-element objects:
> {noformat}
> {
>     "cluster":"VL-10515",
>     "n":5924,
>     "c":
>     {
>         "action":0.023,
>         "adherence":0.223,
>         "administration":0.011
>     },
>     "r":
>     {
>        "action":0.446,
>        "adherence":1.501,
>        "administration":0.306
>     }
> }
> {noformat}
