Mac Yang commented on CHUKWA-75:
--------------------------------

Agree that it does not make sense to remove the whole record, however, instead 
of setting the value to 0, it might be better to remove the offending value and 
set it to null. It's probably also a good idea to generate a log entry.

As for the NumberFormatException, sounded like there might be a reason for why 
it's handled this way. It would be useful to elaborate on this a little so 
everyone is on the same page.
