Class Counters.Group

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Counters.Group

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Iterable<Counters.Counter>, Writable

Enclosing class:
  Counters

    public class Counters.Group

extends Object
implements Writable, Iterable<Counters.Counter>

`Group` of counters, comprising of counters from a particular counter `Enum` class.

`Group`handles localization of the class name and the counter names.

Method Summary
`boolean` `equals(Object obj)` Checks for (content) equality of Groups
`Counters.Counter` `getCounter(int id, String name)` Deprecated. use `getCounter(String)` instead
`long` `getCounter(String counterName)` Returns the value of the specified counter, or 0 if the counter does not exist.
`Counters.Counter` `getCounterForName(String name)` Get the counter for the given name and create it if it doesn't exist.
`String` `getDisplayName()` Returns localized name of the group.
`String` `getName()` Returns raw name of the group.
`int` `hashCode()`
`Iterator<Counters.Counter>` `iterator()`
`String` `makeEscapedCompactString()` Returns the compact stringified version of the group in the format {(actual-name)(display-name)(value)[][][]} where [] are compact strings for the counters within.
`void` `readFields(DataInput in)` Deserialize the fields of this object from `in`.
`void` `setDisplayName(String displayName)` Set the display name
`int` `size()` Returns the number of counters in this group.
`void` `write(DataOutput out)` Serialize the fields of this object to `out`.

Method Detail

### getName

    public String getName()

  Returns raw name of the group. This is the name of the enum class for this group of counters.

### getDisplayName

    public String getDisplayName()

  Returns localized name of the group. This is the same as getName() by default, but different if an appropriate ResourceBundle is found.

### setDisplayName

    public void setDisplayName(String displayName)

  Set the display name

### makeEscapedCompactString

    public String makeEscapedCompactString()

  Returns the compact stringified version of the group in the format {(actual-name)(display-name)(value)[][][]} where [] are compact strings for the counters within.

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)

  Checks for (content) equality of Groups

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`

### getCounter

    public long getCounter(String counterName)

  Returns the value of the specified counter, or 0 if the counter does not exist.

### getCounter

    @Deprecated
    public Counters.Counter getCounter(int id,
                                                  String name)

  Deprecated. use `getCounter(String)` instead

  Get the counter for the given id and create it if it doesn't exist.

  Parameters:
    `id` - the numeric id of the counter within the group
    `name` - the internal counter name
  Returns:
    the counter

### getCounterForName

    public Counters.Counter getCounterForName(String name)

  Get the counter for the given name and create it if it doesn't exist.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the internal counter name
  Returns:
    the counter

### size

    public int size()

  Returns the number of counters in this group.

### write

    public void write(DataOutput out)
               throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `Writable`
  Serialize the fields of this object to `out`.

  Specified by:
    `write` in interface `Writable`
  Parameters:
    `out` - `DataOuput` to serialize this object into.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### readFields

    public void readFields(DataInput in)
                    throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `Writable`
  Deserialize the fields of this object from `in`.

  For efficiency, implementations should attempt to re-use storage in the existing object where possible.

  Specified by:
    `readFields` in interface `Writable`
  Parameters:
    `in` - `DataInput` to deseriablize this object from.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### iterator

    public Iterator<Counters.Counter> iterator()

  Specified by:
    `iterator` in interface `Iterable<Counters.Counter>`
