------------------------------------

[~leftylev] This JIRA added a new property NOT documented *hive.stats.tmp.loc*
Also this property is not added in "hive-default.xml" system.

> Recently, support for stats gathering via counter was [added | https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4632] Although, its useful it has following issues:
> * [Length of counter group name is limited | https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/branch-2.3/hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/MRJobConfig.java?source=c#L340]
> * [Length of counter name is limited | https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/branch-2.3/hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/MRJobConfig.java?source=c#L337]
> * [Number of distinct counter groups are limited | https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/branch-2.3/hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/MRJobConfig.java?source=c#L343]
> * [Number of distinct counters are limited | https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/branch-2.3/hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/MRJobConfig.java?source=c#L334]
> Although, these limits are configurable, but setting them to higher value implies increased memory load on AM and job history server.
> Now, whether these limits makes sense or not is [debatable | https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5680] it is desirable that Hive doesn't make use of counters features of framework so that it we can evolve this feature without relying on support from framework. Filesystem based counter collection is a step in that direction.
