Title: AWS cloud watch accepts only a subset of double type data

truncate the data when it crosses the limit, otherwise there be lot of errors

for number smaller than 1E-108, it will throw invalid value 0 (which is confusing)

These numbers are usually generated when working on Rate metrics where over time some double
approximation comes into play for generating numbers near to zero (very small).
