I'm writing a load/store pair, and I am considering the use
of two Hadoop counters (via reporter). They would could the number
of records read/written, so that they would be available via
the job WebUI.

Is this an overly expensive proposition?

Thanks,

Andreas

Two additional counters shouldn't be expensive. But do consider if the
already available "map input records" / "(map|reduce) output records"
suit your need for such counters.
