I'd like to be able to access my job's counters from within my Reducer's configure() method (so I can know how many records were output from my mappers). Is this possible? Thanks!
The counters aren't available and if they were the information you want isn't there. Counters only flow up to the JobTracker. They never flow down to the task attempts, so each task only sees its own counters.
