    I  think the option was between either fail or disregard those values. We 
can certainly make this a requirement, document and fail when the values are 
negatives
    I think for the cases where values are either null or 0 we should not be 
adding them to Map to unnecessary
     bloat the map.
    The logic would look like 
    if ( frqLong < 0 ) {
      throw new SomeException
    }else if( frqLong > 0 ) {
      // process to add them to map 
    }
    
    Let me know if above look good and i will make the changes accordingly
