             Summary: Use proper capacity storage units such as KB, GB, TB
                 Key: IMPALA-11804
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-11804
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Backend
            Reporter: Abhishek Rawat


Most cloud vendors advertise storage in base 10 units such as GB, TB. Impala 
considers these storage units to be base 2. This could cause issue because when 
configuring data_cache or scratch_space Impala could try to use more capacity 
than what the underlying storage provides.

It's okay for Impala to use base 2 units, but it should support configs using 
base 10 units and also use proper units (KiB, GiB, TiB) internally and 
everywhere else such as web UI, query profile, etc.

The logic for parsing memory configs is here:
