---------------------------------------------------------------

Yes {{Configuration::getTimeDuration}} looks like it does exactly what we want. You may wish to augment it with the additional time units suggested by Steve for completeness. Also support 'w' for weeks, at least one of our config settings defaults to weeks (dfs.datanode.scan.period.hours).

> In HDFS-9821, it talks about the issue of leting existing keys use friendly units e.g. 60s, 5m, 1d, 6w etc. But there are som configuration key names contain time unit name, like {{dfs.blockreport.intervalMsec}}, so we can make some other configurations which without time unit name to accept friendly time units. The time unit  {{seconds}} is frequently used in hdfs. We can updating this configurations first.
