 ====== MapReduce Tutorial : Counters ======
-Sometimes it is useful to count events differently than outputting them (key, value) pairs. For that reason Hadoop offers simple counter framework.
+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, $name, $increment);
+  $context->counter($group, $counter, $increment);
 }
 </code>
+At the end of computation, Hadoop prints an aggregated value of all the counters.
 ===== Exercise =====
-Run a MR job on /home/straka/wiki/cs-text, which uses counters to count the number of articles according to their first letter (ignoring the case and possible diacritics).
