[jira] [Updated] (MAPREDUCE-4562) Support for "FileSystemCounter" legacy counter group name for compatibility reasons is creating incorrect counter name

["Jarek Jarcec Cecho (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4562?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jarek Jarcec Cecho updated MAPREDUCE-4562:
------------------------------------------

    Attachment: MAPREDUCE-4562.patch

I've provided fix to rename the backward compatible name to the original name that is present in Hadoop 0.20 and Hadoop 1.0.3.

> Hi Guys,
> I was investigating issue in Sqoop project(http://sqoop.apache.org/). Problem is that we are reporting number of written filesystem bytes back to the user and on Hadoop 0.23/2.x we're always getting 0. I've noticed that there was some refactorization in FileSystem counter related code and found MAPREDUCE-3542 requesting backward compatibility.
> Included patch seems to be adding counter "FileSystemCounter":
> {code:title=hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/counters/AbstractCounters.java:84}
> legacyMap.put("FileSystemCounter", FileSystemCounter.class.getName());
> {code}
> But it appears that original name is "FileSystemCounters" (Notice the plural "s" at the end of name):
> {code:title=src/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/Task.java:91 (0.20.2)}
> protected static final String FILESYSTEM_COUNTER_GROUP = "FileSystemCounters";
> {code}
> {code:title=src/mapred/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/Task.java:109 (1.0.3)}
> protected static final String FILESYSTEM_COUNTER_GROUP = "FileSystemCounters";
> {code}
> I therefore believe that this counter should be renamed in order to provide backward compatibility. I might fix this discrepancy in Sqoop, but I believe that other projects/users might also be affected and therefore it would be better to fix it in upstream.
