Runping Qi commented on HADOOP-2774:
------------------------------------


Additional useful info should also be collected/computed/reported/logged. This 
info includes the
 total number of spills (by a mapper), the expected number of levels of merges, 
the number of merges at each level, the  progress of the merge process, etc.


> Add counters to show number of key/values that have been sorted and merged in 
> the maps and reduces

> For each *pass* of the sort and merge, I would like a count of the number of 
> records. So for example, if the map output 100 records and they were sorted 
> once, the counter would be 100. If it spilled twice and was merged together, 
> it would be 200. Clearly in a multi-level merge, it may not be a multiple of 
> the number of map output records. This would let the users easily see if they 
> have values like io.sort.mb or io.sort.factor set too low.
