> MRClientService#getTaskReports returns the set of map or reduce tasks along with their counters, which are quite large. For big jobs, the response could be as large as 0.5 GB. This has a negative impact both on MRAppMaster and the monitoring tool that invokes getTaskReports. This problem has led Pig users to entirely disable getTaskReports for big jobs:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4043
> Many monitoring tools, including ours, do not need the task counters when invoking getTaskReports. Pig also does not make any use of task counters. Here are the usages of Tasks in pig:
> {code}
>     protected void getErrorMessages(TaskReport reports[], String type,
>             String msgs[] = reports[i].getDiagnostics();
>                 if (HadoopShims.isJobFailed(reports[i])) {
> {code}
> and
> {code}
>     protected long computeTimeSpent(TaskReport[] taskReports) {
>         long timeSpent = 0;
>         for (TaskReport r : taskReports) {
>             timeSpent += (r.getFinishTime() - r.getStartTime());
>         }
>         return timeSpent;
>     }
> {code}
> GetTaskReportsRequest can be augmented with an optional boolean with which the monitoring tool can request excluding the counters form the response. This minor change is very simple and yet makes many existing monitoring tools more efficient.
