Those columns are human readable (that is what the `,`s are for) the term you are looking for is "abbreviated". There is a reason why I chose to show those column unabbreviated. Let me explain here and then if we can decide if it still applies. The main issue with abbreviation is that it can make numbers that are very different visually appear very similar or even opposite in size. You can see it in the `Total data size` column in your screenshot. What is bigger `5.12 PB` or `15.53 MB`? what if you squint or take off your glasses (see blurry screenshot attached)? One way to solve this is to abbreviate the entire column to the same unit but that looses a lot of resolution on the small things. The `Total rows` column is very special it can vary from 63 billion to 2 as it does in your screenshot. It is also common that people care about the exact number like if you are importing data from somewhere where you know you have 63,267,111,852 rows you want to see that 63,267,111,852 exactly made it into Druid. By leaving it unabbreviated it easily shows the relative size of the datasource even from afar (again see my blurred screenshot). Lastly it is just cool to see a big number. The `Avg row size` is unabbreviated because it simply no likely to have a lot of range. Rows in Druid rarely exceed a couple of kilobytes in size. If your rows are getting close to megabytes you would very much want to know it very prominently.  -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
