Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-4516:
------------------------------------

bq. makeCompactString should be deprecated

bq. The makeEscapeCompactString should be refactored to a non-public class.
What will be reason for doing so? There might a user code that might need to stringify a local counter to write it to a file. The api to de-stringify can be used by the applications that process job logs externally and want to reconstruct the counter.

> Currently the mapred.Counters class includes an obsolete format (makeCompactString) and a format that is only used by the user logs (makeEscapeCompactString). makeCompactString should be deprecated and later removed.The makeEscapeCompactString should be refactored to a non-public class.
