database-nodemgr doesn't get number correctly

Tony, which OS is this, I don't see this on ubuntu 14 or cento 7.1

In any case can you see if change
{print s}
to
{printf "%i", s}
works.

The server where we see this issue is 5b4s8 10.87.64.132.
You can login to see why this happens there.

Your suggestion works.

where the problem is reported, there's mawk is installed and it's getting called for awk..

root@5b4s8:~# ls -l /usr/bin/awk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Mar 1 17:35 /usr/bin/awk -> /etc/alternatives/awk
root@5b4s8:~# ls -l /etc/alternatives/awk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 1 17:35 /etc/alternatives/awk -> /usr/bin/mawk
root@5b4s8:~# dpkg -S /usr/bin/mawk
mawk: /usr/bin/mawk

Where as in our regular machines it's gawk -- hence the difference..

Regardless,
. we can use popen call as in

import subprocess
df = subprocess.Popen(["df", "filename"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
output = df.communicate()[0]
device, size, used, available, percent, mountpoint = \
    output.split("\n")[1].split()

OR

use os.statvfs()..

import os
statvfs = os.statvfs('/home/foo/bar/baz')

statvfs.f_frsize * statvfs.f_blocks # Size of filesystem in bytes
statvfs.f_frsize * statvfs.f_bfree # Actual number of free bytes

------
There's additional issue that data_file_directories can be multiple and we should be summ'ing up the space on all of them..

Fixing the parse issue due to mawk

In some setups, if mawk is installed, awk does not output numbers correctly.
With this patch, awk is being avoided altogether to alleviate such issues
