Souri commented on SPARK-12958:
-------------------------------

I should have been more specific.I wanted to have Map[String, Long] so that the 
values are commutative.  
I already have implemented it for my own purpose. If this makes sense with 
others,  I can create a pull request.

Here is my patch:

> Spark by default supports accumulators of Int,Long,Double,Float.
> It would be good if we can have a Map accumulator where each executor can 
> just add key->value pairs and driver can have access to the aggregated value 
> for each key in the map.
> In this way, it would also be easier to use accumulators for various metrics. 
> We can define metrics at runtime as the map can take any string key.
