Todd Lipcon updated MAPREDUCE-1257:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: mapreduce-1257.txt

Patch adds the following counters:

|MAP_SPILLS|Map spills performed|
|MAP_MERGE_PASSES.name|Map output merge passes|
|REDUCE_MERGE_PASSES.name|Reduce input merge passes|

There were some tricky decisions about what to count as a merge pass. I decided 
to count the merge that feeds directly into the reducer as a merge pass, but 
didn't count intermediate in-memory merges, for example. Would appreciate 
review of whether the decisions of which to count make sense, or if we should 
add more counters to separate out the different cases for in-memory, on-disk, 
etc.
