 ====== MapReduce Tutorial : Counters ======
-Sometimes it is useful to
+Sometimes it is useful to count events differently than outputting them as (key, value) pairs. For that reason Hadoop offers simple counter framework.
+Hadoop maintains a collection of pre-defined and user-defined counters. Every counter is identified by its group name and counter name. The group name and counter name is an arbitrary string -- for example group "Documents" and name "Number of words". To increment a counter, the following code can be used:
+<code perl>
+sub map {
+  my ($self, $key, $value, $context) = @_;
+  $context->counter($group, $counter, $increment);
+}
+</code>
+At the end of computation, Hadoop prints an aggregated value of all the counters.
 ===== Exercise =====
-{{.:step-4-solution.txt|Solution.pl}}
+Run a Hadoop job on ''/home/straka/wiki/cs-text-medium'', which uses counters to count the number of articles according to their first letter (ignoring the case). You can download the template {{:courses:mapreduce-tutorial:step-4-exercise.txt|step-4-exercise.pl}}  and execute it.
