Is there really no way to increment counters inside of a RecordReader or InputFormat in the mapreduce api?
In the mapred api getRecordReader was passed a Reporter which could then
get passed to the RecordReader to allow a RecordReader to increment
counters for different types of records, bad records, etc. In the new
mapreduce api createRecordReader only gets the InputSplit and
TaskAttemptContext, both have no access to counters.
