Description

Right now, bin/hadoop job -counter gives this output

bin/hadoop job -counter
DEPRECATED: Use of this script to execute mapred command is deprecated.
Instead use the mapred command for it.

Usage: CLI [-counter <job-id> <group-name> <counter-name>]

What are these group names and what are the counter-names is not explained. All permissible values of group-name> and <counter-name> should be specified.

Group_name Ex:
org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.TaskCounter

Counter name example:
REDUCE_INPUT_RECORDS
