BactrianIntervalOperator incompatible with integer parameters

[sgtRoberty]

Hello! I encountered an error when I tried to re-run an analysis with the Bactrian operator schedule. I managed to locate the cause of the error, which was this operator:
<operator id="CategoriesUniform.c:hymclock" spec="operator.UniformOperator" parameter="@rateCategories.c:hymclock" weight="10.0"/>
The Bactrian operator schedule replaces the UniformOperator with BactrianIntervalOperator, but the Bactrian operator is unable to deal with integers, which is the case for @rateCategories.c:hymclock:
<stateNode id="rateCategories.c:hymclock" spec="parameter.IntegerParameter" dimension="224">1</stateNode>
The UniformOperator is able to handle both real and integer parameters. Although this is a very minor issue, I wonder if it is beneficial to make BactrianIntervalOperator compatible with integers too.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Thanks for pointing this out. This sounds like a bug in the BactrianOperatorSchedule: I don't think there is a way to make the BactrianIntervalOperator behave properly for IntegerParameters, but it is possible for the BactrianOperatorSchedule to ignore UniformOperator if the parameter is of type IntegerParameter.
