> 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.
