> It would be nice to have map / reduce job keep aggregated counts for 
> arbitrary events occuring in its tasks -- the numer of records processed, the 
> numer of exceptions of a specific type, the number of sentences in passive 
> voice, whatever the jobs finds useful.
> This can be implemented by tasks periodically sending <name, value> pairs to 
> the jobtracker (in some implementations such messages are piggy-backed on the 
> heartbeats), so that the job tracker stores all the latests values from each 
> task and aggregates them on a request.  It should also make the aggregated 
> values available at the job end.  The value for a task would be flushed when 
> the task fails.
> #491 and #490 may be related to this one.
