Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-1933:
---------------------------------------------

I added this convenience feature for memory units at the same time as the time 
units, which are definitely SI. So, I guess there's a choice we have to make... 
do we want to try to stick to SI for everything, or are memory units 
sufficiently distinct, to support a wider range of (non-fractional) unit 
declarations?

Second, if we do think that memory units are sufficiently different, and to the 
extent that it makes sense to support the case-insensitive JVM precedent, how 
do we deal with "b" vs. "B" for bytes?

[~ted.m]: since you've expressed a willingness to work on this, what are your 
thoughts?

> {{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.
