While this code used the built-in support for accumulators of type Long,
programmers can also
create their own types by subclassing
[AccumulatorV2](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.util.AccumulatorV2).
-The AccumulatorV2 abstract class has several methods which need to
override:
-`reset` for resetting the accumulator to zero, and `add` for add anothor
value into the accumulator, `merge` for merging another same-type accumulator
into this one. Other methods need to override can refer to scala API document.
For example, supposing we had a `MyVector` class
-representing mathematical vectors, we could write:

Your point makes sense to me.
The renaming was to done to improve the consistency between Java/Scala
examples. For instance, the Scala example used MyVector, while the Java one -
Vector.
Will it be a better idea to keep MyVector in the Scala example and reuse
this name in Java?
