counter limit question

I have a job that could conceivably involve thousands of supersteps.  I know that I can adjust this in mapped-site.xml, but what are the framework's limitations for the number of counters possible?  Is there a better way to address this (I.e. Prevent giraph from using Hadoop counters for every super step)?

Yes, there is a way to disable the counters at runtime.

See GiraphJob:

   /** Use superstep counters? (boolean) */
   public static final String USE_SUPERSTEP_COUNTERS =
       "giraph.useSuperstepCounters";

and set to false.
