could you open a bug on 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ceilometer/+bugs?orderby=-id&start=0 and 
reference this thread

i would also check to see if ceilometer-api logs have any noticeable 
warning/errors. it's possible a datatype is being restricted there as well.

thanks

I have also verified the samples query for this meter and there are 1544 samples (output shown below) with all of them having value as "150.0". So ideally the "Avg" filed should be "150.0" in this scenario. Could anyone tell me in what scenario we will see these two fields as "inf" in the meter statistics query? Plz let me know if you need more details or logs here. Appreciate your help.
