> Currently HBASE_HEAPSIZE doesn't expect units.
> {code}
> $ HBASE_HEAPSIZE=5G /usr/lib/hbase/bin/hbase shell
> Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx5Gm
> Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
> Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
> {code}
> It would be more user friendly if different units of heapsize can be passed
> through HBASE_HEAPSIZE
> If unit ('m' or 'G') is specified, 'm' doesn't need to be appended.
