    Description

      I've been occasionally coming across instances where Hadoop's Cluster Applications REST API (http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r0.23.6/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-site/ResourceManagerRest.html#Cluster_Applications_API) has returned JSON that PHP's json_decode function failed to parse. I've tracked the syntax error down to the presence of the unquoted word NaN appearing as a value in the JSON. For example:

      "progress":NaN,

      NaN is not part of the JSON spec, so its presence renders the whole JSON string invalid. Hadoop needs to return something other than NaN in this case – perhaps an empty string or the quoted string "NaN".
