Wowee.,how do I join an array in template?

In the recipe:

hbase_host = [“127.0.0.1”]
template
"/var/titan-#{feature}-#{version}/conf/titan-#{feature}.properties" do
path "/var/titan-#{feature}-#{version}/conf/titan-#{feature}.properties"
source "titan-hbase-#{feature}.properties.erb"
owner "root"
group "root"
mode "0755"
variables({
:version => “#{version}”, :hbase_host => hbase_host,
:elasticsearch_host => “#{elasticsearch_host}”, :elasticsearch_clustername
=> “#{elasticsearch_clustername}”
})
#notifies :restart, resources(:service => “supervisord”)
end

In the template:

storage.hostname=<%=@hbase_host.join(",")%>

My sooooo lovely error…

I looks like you have some rouge escaping going on. Where is hbase_host coming from? It is set to a string containing the JSON representation of an array, not the array itself.
