Robert Joseph Evans commented on MAPREDUCE-4229:
------------------------------------------------
I just thought of one more thing we should do. We should make the
StringInterner as @Public and @Stable. The API is simple enough I don't see
much of a problem locking it down.

> 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.
