> Under heavy load circumstances on some Hadoop versions, we may get a NPE from trying to dereference a null Counters object.  I don't have a unit test which can reproduce it, but here's an example stack from a production cluster we saw today:
> 10/06/21 13:01:10 ERROR exec.ExecDriver: Ended Job = job_201005200457_701060 with exception 'java.lang.NullPointerException(null)'
