InfluxDB wont store float where string was first.

[rdek]

I facing an issue:

/opt/sonarqube-exporter$ python3 sonarClient.py
before while loop...
count -----
1
begin export data...
com.g-dev.jve:G_PUS AWfG1stnhxQdf62aHguD
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sonarClient.py", line 132, in <module>
    project.export_metrics()
  File "sonarClient.py", line 82, in export_metrics
    influx_client.write_points(self._prepare_metrics())
  File "/home/me/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/influxdb/client.py", line 490, in write_points
    tags=tags, protocol=protocol)
  File "/home/me/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/influxdb/client.py", line 551, in _write_points
    protocol=protocol
  File "/home/me/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/influxdb/client.py", line 327, in write
    headers=headers
  File "/home/me/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/influxdb/client.py", line 286, in request
    raise InfluxDBClientError(response.content, response.status_code)
influxdb.exceptions.InfluxDBClientError: 400: {"error":"partial write: field type conflict: input field \"value\" on measurement \"violations\" is type float, already exists as type string dropped=35"}

and fix it simply by changing:

"value": float(metric['value'] if ('value' in metric) else 0)

to

"value": metric['value'] if ('value' in metric) else 0

Enjoy your day!
