[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-12848) Configuration.ParsedTimeDuration.unitFor(String) should do more careful parsing

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12848?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15169766#comment-15169766 ] 

Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-12848:
----------------------------------------

I like the idea of "pigs" and "hams" as standardized units of measurement for time.  It actually makes sense: a whole pig is multiple hams.

> The unit parsing code is very loosey-goosey.  For example, "2 pigs" will parse as 2 seconds.  "3 hams" will parse as 3 milliseconds.  We might want to tighten that up a bit.
