Description

This is not 100% clear for users:

if hbase.bucketcache.size is between 0.0 and 1.0 then is a percentage. But if the value is above 1 then the value is expressed in MBs:

From CacheConfig.getBucketCache():

  long bucketCacheSize = (long) (bucketCachePercentage < 1? mu.getMax() * bucketCachePercentage:
      bucketCachePercentage * 1024 * 1024);
