Hong Tang commented on MAPREDUCE-901:
-------------------------------------

Like metrics, we should also clearly document the framework counters. 

> Move Framework Counters into a TaskMetric structure

> I think we should move all of the Counters that the framework updates into a 
> single class called TaskMetrics. TaskMetrics would have specific fields for 
> each of the metrics like input records, input bytes, output records, etc.
> It would both reduce the serialized size of the heartbeats (by shrinking the 
> Counters down to just the user's counters) and decrease the latency for 
> updates to the JobTracker (since Counters are sent at most 1/minute instead 
> of 1/heartbeat).
