Add a setValue() method in Counter
----------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-1762
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1762
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.22.0
Reporter: Scott Chen
Assignee: Scott Chen
Fix For: 0.22.0
Counters are very useful because of the logging and transmitting are already
there.
It is very convenient to transmit and store numbers. But currently Counter only
has an increment() method.
It will be nice if there can be a setValue() method in this class that will
allow us to transmit wider variety of information through it.
What do you think?
