------------------------------------------
Yes, thanks for the nudge. I'll rebase/run tests again on the weekend.

> Queries of the form:
> from foo
> insert overwrite table bar partition (p) select ...
> insert overwrite table bar partition (p) select ...
> insert overwrite table bar partition (p) select ...
> Generate a huge amount of counters. The reason is that task.progress is
> turned on for dynamic partitioning queries.
> The counters not only make queries slower than necessary (up to 50%) you will
> also eventually run out. That's because we're wrapping them in enum values to
> comply with hadoop 0.17.
> The real reason we turn task.progress on is that we need CREATED_FILES and
> FATAL counters to ensure dynamic partitioning queries don't go haywire.
> The counters have counter-intuitive names like C1 through C1000 and don't
> seem really useful by themselves.
> With hadoop 20+ you don't need to wrap the counters anymore, each operator
> can simply create and increment counters. That should simplify the code a lot.
