Description

While Giraph is still on MR and keeping track of its statistics via Hadoop's counters, there is the danger that a huge number of iterations will negatively impact the cluster's jobtracker by adding counter statistics for each one (basically, the flip side of GIRAPH-52). We should have a configurable maximum number of iterations to prevent this.
