What is changed, added or deleted? (Required)

This adds units wherever possible, and removes it from the body description if redundant.

This helps improve readability and slightly reduce risk of misconfiguration.

Which TiDB version(s) do your changes apply to? (Required)

Tips for choosing the affected version(s):

By default, CHOOSE MASTER ONLY so your changes will be applied to the next TiDB major or minor releases. If your PR involves a product feature behavior change or a compatibility change, CHOOSE THE AFFECTED RELEASE BRANCH(ES) AND MASTER.

For details, see tips for choosing the affected versions.

  • master (the latest development version)
  • v5.2 (TiDB 5.2 versions)
  • v5.1 (TiDB 5.1 versions)
  • v5.0 (TiDB 5.0 versions)
  • v4.0 (TiDB 4.0 versions)
  • v3.1 (TiDB 3.1 versions)
  • v3.0 (TiDB 3.0 versions)
  • v2.1 (TiDB 2.1 versions)

  • This PR is translated from:
  • Other reference link(s):

Do your changes match any of the following descriptions?

  • Delete files

Note that I used the terminology "Threads" when they are really green threads (goroutines). I considered other options like "workers", but arrived at threads because I think this is easiest for users to understand.

I think we should remove the "New in v4..." labels in the master branch. But that's outside of the scope of this PR.

See #4549

I agree with you. It reduces the readability.

I will have to think about this one. The value -1 is "special" in that it is reserved for the autovalue, which is kind of like NULL or infinity: it doesn't fit neatly in a range.

Lets change this in a future PR. I would like to add some docs on what the auto value is, and then have a separate line for: Permits Auto value: Yes.

@TomShawn If we can merge this first, I will create a followup PR to change the ranges. pingcap/tidb#28842 merged which adjusts a lot of the previous values.
