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

             Summary: Use MemorySize type instead of String type for memory ConfigOption in ExecutionConfigOptions
                 Key: FLINK-20879
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20879
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Table SQL / API
            Reporter: godfrey he
             Fix For: 1.13.0


Currently, There are memory {{ConfigOption}}s in {{ExecutionConfigOptions}} such as {{table.exec.resource.external-buffer-memory}}, {{table.exec.resource.hash-agg.memory}}. They are all {{String}} type now. While when we need to get the memory size value, the String value should be converted to {{MemorySize}} type and then getting bytes value. Code likes:
{code:java}
val memoryBytes = MemorySize.parse(config.getConfiguration.getString(
      ExecutionConfigOptions.TABLE_EXEC_RESOURCE_HASH_AGG_MEMORY)).getBytes
{code}

The above code can be simplified if we change the {{ConfigOption}} type from {{String}} to {{MemorySize}} type. Many runtime {{ConfigOption}}s also use {{MemorySize}} type to define memory config. So I suggest we use {{MemorySize}} type instead of {{String}} type for memory {{ConfigOption}} in {{ExecutionConfigOptions}}.

Note: this is an incompatible change.
