Richard Ding commented on PIG-2208:
-----------------------------------
It only logs once per job in the front end so that user is informed that the
multi-inputs (or outputs) counters are disabled. In the back-end the counters
are simply disabled without logging.
> Restrict number of PIG generated Haddop counters

> Key: PIG-2208
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2208
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: impl

> Reporter: Richard Ding

> PIG 8.0 implemented Hadoop counters to track the number of records read for
> each input and the number of records written for each output (PIG-1389 &
> PIG-1299). On the other hand, Hadoop has imposed limit on per job counters
> (MAPREDUCE-1943) and jobs will fail if the counters exceed the limit.
> Therefore we need a way to cap the number of PIG generated counters.
> Here are the two options:
> 1. Add a integer property (e.g., pig.counter.limit) to the pig property file
> (e.g., 20). If the number of inputs of a job exceeds this number, the input
> counters are disabled. Similarly, if the number of outputs of a job exceeds
> this number, the output counters are disabled.
> 2. Add a boolean property (e.g., pig.disable.counters) to the pig property
> file (default: false). If this property is set to true, then the PIG
> generated counters are disabled.
