Benjamin Mahler resolved MESOS-273.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Add a Bytes abstraction akin to Duration
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-273
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-273
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Benjamin Mahler
> Assignee: Benjamin Mahler
> Priority: Minor
>
> We've accumulated a lot of cruft around amount of memory/disk.
> via benh: "It's really time for a Bytes/Kilobytes/Megabytes/Gigabytes struct.
> Unlike Duration, maybe it makes sense to just create a single Bytes class as
> the "base", or maybe call it Bits? Not sure if Size or Data are descriptive
> enough."
> My thoughts:
> Size: typically refers to number of things (list::size, vector::size,
> map::size, ...)
> Data: typically refers to the data itself, rather than size (char* data,
> string data, ...)
> Bytes: although works fine at the unit level, like Seconds, seems odd as the
> base class (makes me think of actual byte data, rather than # of bytes).
> Duration worked nicely to avoid doing Amount<Time>, however in this case it's
> tricker to avoid Amount<Data> (
> https://github.com/twitter/commons/tree/master/src/java/com/twitter/common/quantity
> )
> I'd go with Bytes or Bits, preferably Bytes.
