-----------------------------------------
[~djoshi] moving the {{ByteUnit}} changes out to a separate ticket SGTM. Can
you say a bit more about what test failed and why? I missed that. Thanks.
> Potential Overflow in DatabaseDescriptor Functions That Convert Between KB/MB

> {{DatabaseDescriptor}} has several functions that convert between user
> supplied sizes in KB/MB and bytes. These are implemented without much
> consistency and, while unlikely, several have the potential to overflow since
> validation on the input is missing. Meanwhile, some widen the number to a
> long correctly. Options include: widening in all places or simply doing
> better validation on start up — currently only the lower bound of the valid
> range is checked for many of these fields.
> List of Affected {{DatabaseDescriptor}} Methods:
> * {{getColumnIndexSize}}
> * {{getColumnIndexCacheSize}}
> * {{getBatchSizeWarnThreshold}}
> * {{getNativeTransportFrameBlockSize}}
> * {{getRepairSessionSpaceInMegabytes}}
> * {{getNativeTransportMaxFrameSize}}
