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

             Summary: Configuration entries should express units of measure in their names
                 Key: OOZIE-2759
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2759
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build, docs
    Affects Versions: 5.0.0
            Reporter: Andras Piros
            Priority: Minor


For configuration entries it would be nice to have their names to express their units of measure as well. Right now it's impossible without reading the documentation, sometimes even [*with reading the documentation*|OOZIE-2758] to tell what is the unit of measure of a configuration value.

Suggestion here is to employ a postfix like that:
* {{oozie.action.retry.interval}} -> {{oozie.action.retry.interval.seconds}}
* {{oozie.service.LiteWorkflowStoreService.user.retry.inteval}} -> {{oozie.service.LiteWorkflowStoreService.user.retry.inteval.minutes}}

It would also be nice to employ [{{TimeUnit}}|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/TimeUnit.html] within {{Configuration}} code where applicable.
