> 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?
