             Summary: Scalar units and get_property
                 Key: TOSCA-231
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/TOSCA-231
             Project: OASIS Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Profile-YAML
            Reporter: Luc Boutier


Currently in the spec we manage all the scalar units as others values and I believe that a get_property usage on a scalar unit will return a scalar unit to the script e.g. 1 Gb, 1 MHz.

I wonder if it won't be easier for users if the orchestrator have the responsibility of scalar unit parsing and provides value as a scalar using a defined root unit (B, ms, Hz)

If not this means that any script that uses scalar unit will have to mange parsing by itself, it may not be very complicated but as a user I feel that it's always better when you don't have to manage it.

What do you think ?
