Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-2208:
---------------------------------------

bq. One really simple option is to to add a Counters.clear method and call it 
from TaskStatus.clearStatus, this will ensure that only updated counters are 
sent in every hearbeat.

I jumped to hasty conclusion. Forget it, won't work.


> Reduce frequency of Counter updates in the task tracker status

> Currently,  We have counter updates from task tracker to job tracker on every 
> heartbeat. Both counter name and the values are updated for every heartbeat. 
> This can be improved by sending names and values for the first time and only 
> the values after that.
> The frequency can be reduced by doing update only when the counters got 
> changed.
