Nigel Daley commented on HADOOP-6287:
-------------------------------------

Can GB, MB, etc be lower case? 
Can there be a space between the number and the units?
Should *-default.xml be updated so that comments say something like "If no 
units are specified, the default unit is MB."?

> Support units for configuration knobs

> We should add support for units in our Configuration system so that we can 
> specify values to be *1GB* or *1MB* rather than forcing every component which 
> consumes such values to be aware of these.
