> Sometimes, the stream plugin may want to create/update its own global counters.
> There is no way to do so currently.
> One possible way to enable that is to use the stderr output of the stream process.
> The stream process can emit the global counter update information (such as GLOCAL_COUNTER COUNTER_NAME NUM)
> to the stderr of the process. The Stderr handling thread can call the global counter API whenever it encounters the global counter update information line.
