Find number of map methods launched during map stage in MapReduce Word Count Example

Question

I came across a MapReduce WordCount sample application and I want to edit the code so that it also outputs the number of times the Map method is called during the map stage. I have two text files and this is the code that I am using for the application

public class WordCount 
{
public static class TokenizerMapper
        extends Mapper<Object, Text, Text, IntWritable> {

    private final static IntWritable one = new IntWritable(1);
    private Text word = new Text();

    public void map(Object key, Text value, Context context
    ) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        StringTokenizer itr = new StringTokenizer(value.toString());
        while (itr.hasMoreTokens()) {
            word.set(itr.nextToken());
            context.write(word, one);
        }
    }
}

public static class IntSumReducer
        extends Reducer<Text, IntWritable, Text, IntWritable> {

    private IntWritable result = new IntWritable();

    public void reduce(Text key, Iterable<IntWritable> values,
            Context context
    ) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        int sum = 0;
        for (IntWritable val : values) {
            sum += val.get();
        }
        result.set(sum);
        context.write(key, result);
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Configuration conf = new Configuration();
    String[] otherArgs = new GenericOptionsParser(conf, args).getRemainingArgs();
    if (otherArgs.length != 2) {
        System.err.println("Usage: wordcount <in> <out>");
        System.exit(2);
    }
    Job job = new Job(conf, "word count");
    job.setJarByClass(WordCount.class);
    job.setMapperClass(TokenizerMapper.class);
    job.setCombinerClass(IntSumReducer.class);
    job.setReducerClass(IntSumReducer.class);
    job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
    job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
    FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(otherArgs[0]));
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(otherArgs[1]));
    System.exit(job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1);
}
}

This is just for learning purposes so I would really appreciate your help!

Thank you

Hadoop already counts number of map method calls. You can see it in application UI in counters section or get from job after it finishes:

int code = job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1;

String group = "Map-Reduce Framework";
String counter = "Map input records";

long val = job.getCounters().getGroup(group).findCounter(counter).getValue();

Remember that this number can be bigger than number of input file lines if speculative execution is enabled.
