> We saw this problem migrating applications to MapReduceV2:
> Our applications use hadoop counters extensively (1000+ counters for certain jobs). While this may not be one of recommended best practices in hadoop, the real issue here is reliability of the framework when applications exceed counter limits.
> The hadoop servers (yarn, history server) were originally brought up with mapreduce.job.counters.max=1000 under core-site.xml
> We then ran map-reduce job under an application using its own job specific overrides, with  mapreduce.job.counters.max=10000
> All the tasks for the job finished successfully; however the overall job still failed due to AM encountering exceptions as:

> The overall job failed, and the job history wasn't accessible either at the end of the job (didn't show up in job history server).
> We were able to workaround the issue by changing to higher limits in core-site.xml and restarting yarn servers. However that forced us to increase the counters global limit to be as high as possible use by any individual application, which is hard to predict.
> The original job then succeeded with new global limits. 
> However, since we didn't restart the job history server, it was unable to display job history page for the successful job altogether as it still hit counter exceeded exception. Restart of job history server finally got the application available under job history.
> I'll also attach AM logs to help debug the issue
