Arun C Murthy updated HADOOP-2208:
----------------------------------

    Status: Open  (was: Patch Available)

I see a potential bug with this patch: the TaskTracker _caches_ counters sent 
by the child-task till it's sent out to the JobTracker via the heartbeat. 
Hence, we need to *merge* the ones received from the child in 
{{TaskStatus.statusUpdate}}, not just over-write them as-is today.

Minor nit: the merge of the counters probably belongs to 
{{TaskInProgress.recomputeProgress}} rather than 
{{TaskInProgress.updateStatus}} ...

> 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.
