public static Long asMilliSeconds(Object value,
                                  Long defaultValue)
```
    Tries to return the given object as a Long. If it is a Number, treat it as a number of seconds, i.e. get a Long representation and multiply by 1000. If it has a String representation, try to parse this as a floating point number, followed by by an optional unit (seconds and an SI prefix, a couple of valid examples are "s" and "ms". Only a very small subset of SI prefixes are supported). If no unit is given, seconds are assumed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - some representation of a number of seconds
    
    defaultValue - returned if value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    value as a number of milliseconds
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - if value is not a Number instance and its String representation cannot be parsed as a number followed optionally by time unit
