Sean Busbey commented on ACCUMULO-1933:
---------------------------------------

The [JVM accepts both upper and lower case for memory 
arguments|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13150_01/jrockit_jvm/jrockit/jrdocs/refman/optionX.html#wp999528],
 it does not use SI units. I think we're much less likely to confuse users if 
we maintain consistency with that.

> Make unit on memory parameters case-insensitive

> {{config -t my_table -s table.split.threshold=2g}} fails with a non-intuitive 
> error.
> {{config -t my_table -s table.split.threshold=2G}} succeeds
> It would be nice for both to work.
