Stephan Ewen created FLINK-6469: ----------------------------------- Summary: Configure Memory Sizes via units Key: FLINK-6469 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6469 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Core Reporter: Stephan Ewen
Currently, memory sizes are configured by pure numbers, the interpretation is different from configuration parameter to parameter. For example, heap sizes are configured in megabytes, network buffer memory is configured in bytes, alignment thresholds are configured in bytes. I propose to configure all memory parameters the same way, with units similar to time. The JVM itself configured heap size similarly: {{Xmx5g}} or {{Xmx2000m}}. {code} 10000 -> bytes 10 kb 64 mb 1 gb ... {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
