This is the sample code for get the counters for one specified job ( I have
tested it on my cluster). What you need to change is the jobtracker address
and jobID. Remember to put this class in package org.apache.hadoop.mapred,
becuase the JobSubmissionProtocol is not public.
package org.apache.hadoop.mapred;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;
import java.util.Iterator;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RPC;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Counters.Counter;
import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Counters.Group;
public class MyServer {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
InetSocketAddress address = new InetSocketAddress("sha-cs-04",
9001);
JobSubmissionProtocol jobClient = (JobSubmissionProtocol)
RPC.getProxy(
JobSubmissionProtocol.class,
JobSubmissionProtocol.versionID,
address, new Configuration());
JobID jobID=new JobID("201002111947",460);
Counters counters= jobClient.getJobCounters(jobID);
Iterator<Group> iter=counters.iterator();
while(iter.hasNext()){
Group group=iter.next();
System.out.println(group.getDisplayName());
Iterator<Counter> cIter=group.iterator();
while(cIter.hasNext()){
Counter counter=cIter.next();
System.out.println("\t"+counter.getName()+":"+counter.getValue());
}
}
}
}
