Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-2208:
---------------------------------------

One really simple option is to to add a {{Counters.clear}} method and call it 
from {{TaskStatus.clearStatus}}, this will ensure that only updated counters 
are sent in every hearbeat.

> Reduce frequency of Counter updates in the task tracker status

> Currently,  We have counter updates from task tracker to job tracker on every 
> heartbeat. Both counter name and the values are updated for every heartbeat. 
> This can be improved by sending names and values for the first time and only 
> the values after that.
> The frequency can be reduced by doing update only when the counters got 
> changed.
