Miomir Boljanovic commented on MAPREDUCE-4229:
----------------------------------------------
Patch involves memory saving achieved with the use of Guava's Interner
implementation,
including tests to verify only one copy of each distinct counter name string is
stored.
Please review.

> In our experience, most of the memory in production JTs goes to storing
> counter names (String objects and character arrays). Since most counter names
> are reused again and again, it would be a big memory savings to keep a hash
> set of already-used counter names within a job, and refer to the same object
> from all tasks.
