+1. Making the types numbers when they really are numbers will aid in
searching in PuppetDB and this is going to benefit a lot of people.
Not only that, they are often more optimal for storage - as they will
be stored as big integers in PostgreSQL versus a string of digits. The
indexes for these columns are more appropriate as well.
