Hi, How can I access a value of a counter in a reducer ? Basically I am interested in knowing how many records I have got from file1, file2 .. fileN The mapper is maintaining N counters and incrementing counter-i for every record read from ith file.
Initially I was tagging my records with file name/number and was counting in the reducer. But I feel this is unnecessary. I don't have to iterate over the values in the reducer, Counters can be used. But I don't see a way to access the counters in the reducer :-( -Taran
