Szilard Nemeth updated YARN-9019:
---------------------------------
Summary: Ratio calculation of ResourceCaculator implementations could
return NaN (was: Ratio of ResourceCaculator implementations could return NaN)
> Ratio calculation of ResourceCaculator implementations could return NaN

> Key: YARN-9019
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-9019
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Szilard Nemeth
> Assignee: Szilard Nemeth
> Priority: Major
>
> Found out that ResourceCalculator.ratio (with implementors
> DefaultResourceCalculator and DominantResourceCalculator) can produce NaN
> (Not-A-Number) as a result.
> This is because [IEEE 754|http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/754/] defines {{1.0
> / 0.0}} as Infinity and {{-1.0 / 0.0}} as -Infinity and {{0.0 / 0.0}} as NaN,
> see here: [https://stackoverflow.com/a/14138032/1106893]
> I think it's very dangerous to rely on NaN can be returned from ratio
> calculations and this could have side-effects.
> When ratio calculates the result and if both the numerator and the
> denominator is zero, we should use 0 as a result, I think.
