Dustin Cote commented on SPARK-11154:
-------------------------------------

That's absolutely a good point.  It might be more confusing to have a default 
'untagged' number be specified in megabytes and allow option appended 'g' for 
gigabytes.  I think it would be safe to allow people to specify the 'm' at the 
end (this currently doesn't work), but I agree it would be a bad thing to move 
from a default of megabytes to bytes as it wouldn't be backward compatible.  

This might just be a usability quirk, but I figured I'd call it out since I see 
customers trying to use this like Xmx all the time.
