-------------------------------------
[~ndimiduk] Hello!
I'm thinking of doing a similar change for MemStore, allowing its size to be
set using an absolute value as well.
I believe it could help make configuration more consistent, similar to how
we're handling the block cache now in this ticket.
I haven't created a ticket for it yet, but what do you think?
> Enable setting blockcache on-heap sizes in bytes

> Specifying blockcache and memcache sizes as a percentage of heap is not
> always ideal. Sometimes it's easier to specify exact values rather than
> backing into a percentage. Let's introduce new configuration settings
> (perhaps named similarly to {{hbase.bucketcache.size}}) that accept byte
> values. Even nicer would be if these settings accepted human-friendly byte
> values like {{512m}} or {{10g}}.
