There is no problem reusing old keys, if their default unit was "bytes",
because the `MemorySize.parse(...)` interprets a number as bytes, if there is
no unit attached to it.
I did not realize that you switched the config keys already - in that case
we need to backwards support the old keys as well. Also, we need to update all
the shell scripts (`config.sh`, `jobmanager.sh`, `taskmanager.sh` and so on) to
be consistent with the new config keys.
> Configure Memory Sizes with units

> Key: FLINK-6469
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6469
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: vinoyang
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, memory sizes are configured by pure numbers, the interpretation is
> different from configuration parameter to parameter.
> For example, heap sizes are configured in megabytes, network buffer memory is
> configured in bytes, alignment thresholds are configured in bytes.
> I propose to configure all memory parameters the same way, with units similar
> to time. The JVM itself configured heap size similarly: {{Xmx5g}} or
> {{Xmx2000m}}.

> 10000 -> bytes
> 10 kb
> 64 mb
> 1 gb
