Class Counters

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Counters

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<Counters.Group>, Writable

public class Counters
extends Object
implements Writable, Iterable<Counters.Group>

A set of named counters.

Counters represent global counters, defined either by the Map-Reduce framework or applications. Each Counter can be of any Enum type.

Counters are bunched into Counters.Groups, each comprising of counters from a particular Enum class.

Nested Class Summary

static class	Counters.Counter A counter record, comprising its name and value.
static class	Counters.CountersExceededException Counter exception thrown when the number of counters exceed the limit
class	Counters.Group Group of counters, comprising of counters from a particular counter Enum class.

limit on counters

Constructor Detail

Counters

public Counters()

Method Detail

getGroupNames

public Collection<String> getGroupNames()

Returns the names of all counter classes.

Returns:

Set of counter names.

iterator

public Iterator<Counters.Group> iterator()

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<Counters.Group>

getGroup

public Counters.Group getGroup(String groupName)

Returns the named counter group, or an empty group if there is none with the specified name.

findCounter

public Counters.Counter findCounter(Enum key)

Find the counter for the given enum. The same enum will always return the same counter.

Parameters:

key - the counter key

Returns:

the matching counter object

findCounter

public Counters.Counter findCounter(String group,
                                    String name)

Find a counter given the group and the name.

Parameters:

group - the name of the group

name - the internal name of the counter

Returns:

the counter for that name

findCounter

@Deprecated
public Counters.Counter findCounter(String group,
                                               int id,
                                               String name)

Deprecated.

Find a counter by using strings

Parameters:

group - the name of the group

id - the id of the counter within the group (0 to N-1)

name - the internal name of the counter

Returns:

the counter for that name

incrCounter

public void incrCounter(Enum key,
                        long amount)

Increments the specified counter by the specified amount, creating it if it didn't already exist.

Parameters:

key - identifies a counter

amount - amount by which counter is to be incremented

incrCounter

public void incrCounter(String group,
                        String counter,
                        long amount)

Increments the specified counter by the specified amount, creating it if it didn't already exist.

Parameters:

group - the name of the group

counter - the internal name of the counter

amount - amount by which counter is to be incremented

getCounter

public long getCounter(Enum key)

Returns current value of the specified counter, or 0 if the counter does not exist.

incrAllCounters

public void incrAllCounters(Counters other)

Increments multiple counters by their amounts in another Counters instance.

Parameters:

other - the other Counters instance

sum

public static Counters sum(Counters a,
                           Counters b)

Convenience method for computing the sum of two sets of counters.

size

public int size()

Returns the total number of counters, by summing the number of counters in each group.

write

public void write(DataOutput out)
           throws IOException

Write the set of groups. The external format is: #groups (groupName group)* i.e. the number of groups followed by 0 or more groups, where each group is of the form: groupDisplayName #counters (false | true counter)* where each counter is of the form: name (false | true displayName) value
