I'm wondering if it would make more sense to create a new `PropertyType`
instead of piggy-backing on `MEMORY`. Is it confusing to allow percent-values
for some of these other properties which we really never expect users to do?
For example, some properties like `table.file.blocksize` or
`tserver.compaction.major.throughput` make no sense to allow a percentage of
total heap.
