Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-6425:
------------------------------------
We can't change the unit of an existing parameter.
And even though it's _usually_ a big unit, in tests and things it can be useful
to set it to something in the second range.
I'd be +1 on a patch to hadoop common which adds a
{{Configuration.getTimeInterval(String key, int default, TimeUnit
defaultUnit)}}. Then define standard suffixes for millis, seconds, hours, etc,
and even make it deprecated to specify a time _without_ the suffix. Then you
could write "10h" or "1ms" and be correct either way. Seem useful? If so, I'll
file.

> Currently it needs to be specified in millisecs when it usually is a big
> duration. It would make more sense to specify it in hours.
