Metrics units?

Heya,

Do we have documentation someplace describing the units for various metics?
For instance, it's not always clear if a unit is bytes or milliseconds.
Would be nice if the metric names were self-identifying, but that will
break compatibility with anyone who's monitoring specific metrics by name,
so maybe just an update to the book?

most of the metrics should have a description string in JMX that should
describe them.  If they are missing units in there and it's not clear, just
let me know and I can try and clean that up.
