> Counters that are written to the JobHistory are stringified using
> {{Counters.makeCompactString()}}. The format in which this api converts the
> counter into a string is _groupname.countername:value_. The problem is that
> _groupname_ and _countername_ can contain a '.' and hence recovering the
> counter becomes difficult. Since JobHistory can be used for various purposes,
> reconstructing the counter object back might be useful. One such usecase is
> HADOOP-3245. There should be some way to recover the counter object back from
> its string representation and also to keep the string version readable.
