Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3748:
--------------------------------------
We generally don't commit performance enhancements that don't provide
significant performance improvements. The fact that network traffic on the JT
is reduced does not demonstrate a significant performance improvement.
> Flag to make tasks to send counter information only at the end of the task

>
> Currently counters are streaming from the task to the jobtracker as the task
> progresses. If the number of counters is large this has a significant impact
> on the network traffic as well as in the JobTracker load.
> The should be a flag, for example by counter-group, that indicates that the
> counters are to be reported at the end of the task. By default this flag
> should be set to false for all counter-groups maintaining the current
> behavior.
