--------------------------------------
Please open a new ticket. Reverting the original (big) patch isn't really
needed for this trivial fix.
> Add a setValue() method in Counter

> Counters are very useful because of the logging and transmitting are already
> there.
> It is very convenient to transmit and store numbers. But currently Counter
> only has an increment() method.
> It will be nice if there can be a setValue() method in this class that will
> allow us to transmit wider variety of information through it.
> What do you think?
