> Between Hadoop 1 and 2, org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Counter changed from a class to an interface. Therefore, exposing Counter in Crunch's API means that Crunch programs may need to be recompiled when moving from a Hadoop 1 to a Hadoop 2 cluster. It would be nice to avoid the need to recompile. 
> Note that Crunch itself has two artifacts - one for each major version of Hadoop - and the change proposed here would not alter that, it would just mean that the same Crunch program binary could be used with either Crunch artifact.
