[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (GIRAPH-43) GiraphJob: Counter Limit is not set

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-43?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13117891#comment-13117891 ]

Yeah, this kind of sucks.  One thing we could do is say keep the timers (counters) only for the last n supersteps.  This way we don't grow infinitely.  I.e use two counters per superstep

superstep a = 3
superstep a milliseconds = 70
superstep b = 4
superstep b milliseconds = 71
...

For jobs with a lot of supersteps, we can't just grow forever given this limitation.

> I have got a problem regarding Counters: 
> For testing and benchmarking I added a lot of timers bud now the task fails with this Exception:
> org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Counters$CountersExceededException: Error: Exceeded limits on number of counters - Counters=120 Limit=120
> I don't understand why this happens. Within GiraphJob the counter limit is set to 512.
> In the cluster configuration there is no value specified.
