Sean Busbey commented on ACCUMULO-1933:
---------------------------------------
I think memory is something that's dealt with in a non-SI way on a sufficient
number of other systems that we should match the behavior of the other
configurable components.
Nothing else I know of includes a unit marker for bytes themselves, so I'm less
concerned about matching. However, it is going to be confusing to many users
for "b" to give them 1/8 the number they include, esp. if all the other units
are insensitive. I don't think there's a sufficient use case for specifying
memory amounts in bits, so I'd prefer to just treat both b and B as bytes.
> Make unit on memory parameters case-insensitive
