> {code}
> The value.value, value.recommended_values and definition.default_value (If the ConfigKey is not String type) are serialized by Jackson to something other than strings.
> We actually expect the values to be strings, and this should mirror the current requirements of submitting configs which is that the config is a Map<String, String>.
> This can be fixed by adding ConfigDef support for converting values to strings, corresponding to all the parse methods, and then making sure all these outputs of values have type String instead of Object.
