Class Counters

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Counters

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Iterable<Counters.Group>, Writable

    public class Counters

extends Object
implements Writable, Iterable<Counters.Group>

A set of named counters.

`Counters` represent global counters, defined either by the Map-Reduce framework or applications. Each `Counter` can be of any `Enum` type.

`Counters` are bunched into `Counters.Group`s, each comprising of counters from a particular `Enum` class.

Nested Class Summary
`static class` | `Counters.Counter` A counter record, comprising its name and value.
`static class` | `Counters.CountersExceededException` Counter exception thrown when the number of counters exceed the limit
`class` | `Counters.Group` `Group` of counters, comprising of counters from a particular counter `Enum` class.

Field Summary
`static int` | `MAX_COUNTER_LIMIT` limit on counters

Constructor Summary
`Counters()`

  Find a counter given the group and the name.

  Parameters:
    `group` - the name of the group
    `name` - the internal name of the counter
  Returns:
    the counter for that name

### findCounter

    @Deprecated
    public Counters.Counter findCounter(String group,
                                                   int id,
                                                   String name)

  Deprecated.

  Find a counter by using strings

  Parameters:
    `group` - the name of the group
    `id` - the id of the counter within the group (0 to N-1)
    `name` - the internal name of the counter
  Returns:
    the counter for that name

### incrCounter

    public void incrCounter(Enum key,
                            long amount)

  Increments the specified counter by the specified amount, creating it if it didn't already exist.

  Parameters:
    `key` - identifies a counter
    `amount` - amount by which counter is to be incremented

### incrCounter

    public void incrCounter(String group,
                            String counter,
                            long amount)

  Increments the specified counter by the specified amount, creating it if it didn't already exist.

  Parameters:
    `group` - the name of the group
    `counter` - the internal name of the counter
    `amount` - amount by which counter is to be incremented

### getCounter

### write

    public void write(DataOutput out)
               throws IOException

  Write the set of groups. The external format is: #groups (groupName group)* i.e. the number of groups followed by 0 or more groups, where each group is of the form: groupDisplayName #counters (false | true counter)* where each counter is of the form: name (false | true displayName) value
