[jira] [Updated] (LOG4J2-1485) File size parsing is inconsistent and unnecessarily restrictive

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1485?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Anthony Baldocchi updated LOG4J2-1485:
--------------------------------------
    Description: 
There are (as far as I've encountered) 2 ways to parse a size from String:
FileSize.parse(final String string, final long defaultValue)
OptionConverter.toFileSize(final String value, final long defaultValue)

These two implementations are not consistent with each other:
FileSize.parse() when passed in a floating point value will silently truncate the floating point portion to the lower long.
OptionConverter.toFileSize() when passed in a floating point value will log an error to the StatusLogger and return the defaultValue.

Neither option supports units larger than GB, though multi-TB disks are common.
