Micah Whitacre updated CRUNCH-579:
----------------------------------
    Attachment: CRUNCH-579.patch

So this just wraps some methods from the original context vs passing both into the writers.  Thoughts?

> So we wrote a custom Crunch Target to write data to a particular location which included providing RecordWriters, OutputFormat, OutCommitters and such. Now we  wanted to add Counters to get a count of how much data our reducers are writing. A most obvious design was to use the TaskAttemptContext that gets passed to the RecordWriter and use the getCounter() method on it to manipulate the counters. However, that did not work as expected and even though the counters were getting incremented, they did not show up on the Resource Manager UI. On further investigation I found that, cruch mangles this context object to add in a named output via the CrunchOutputs class[1] which basically makes the counters useless within the recordwriter class. 
> Would it be a feasible enhancement for the CrunchOutputs to pass in the original base context object along with the modified one with named outputs so that it can be used for counters? Any other suggestions are most welcome as well.
