JDK 8 and 9 RFR of 8030212: Several api.java.util.stream tests got "NaN" value instead of "Infinity" or "-Infinity"

[Joe Darcy]

Hello,

Testing (eventually) revealed that changing the streams floating point 
sum and average algorithms to use compensated summation (JDK-8006572 
DoubleStream.sum() & DoubleSummaryStats implementations that reduce 
numerical errors), changed the behavior of the code on streams with 
infinite values: NaN was returned instead of infinity:

     8030212: Several api.java.util.stream tests got "NaN" value instead 
of "Infinity" or "-Infinity"

The specification doesn't explicitly state how non-finite values in 
streams should be handled (and it should be updated to do so in 9, 
JDK-8030942 Explicitly state floating-point summation requirements on 
non-finite inputs), but it isn't unreasonable to assume that a properly 
signed infinity should result.

Towards that end, I've prepared a webrev that uses an additional simple 
sum to distinguish a spurious NaN sum in the result:

     http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8030212.1/

This may not be the optimal way to track this situation, additional 
logic in the compensated summation code is possible, but if needed the 
implementation can be refined in JDK 9 and the 8 updates.

Thanks,
