Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-4129:
---------------------------------------

How about keeping the calculations in 'bytes' but allowing ppl to use GB/MB/KB 
suffixes in the config file?

> Memory limits of TaskTracker and Tasks should be in kiloBytes.

> HADOOP-3759 uses memory limits in kilo-bytes and HADOOP-3581 changed it to be 
> in bytes. Because of this, TestHighRAMJobs is failing on Linux. We should 
> change this behaviour so that all memory limits are considered to be in 
> kilo-bytes.
