Thanks Michel! Looks like that’ll do the trick. It wasn’t clear originally from the docs that context.getCounter(groupName, counterName) will create the group and counter if they don’t exist.

For the group, just create a group name and you are done. Sent from a remote device. Please excuse any typos...

I've got an enum that defines the list of counters, and I'm incrementing in the map function using context.getCounter(<counter name>).increment(1). I see that there's another implementation of context.getCounter() that takes arguments String groupName and String counterName. I think I'd find it useful to be able to group my Counters - can anyone give me an example of how to collect my Counters in groups?
