Subject: Way to access counter value in driver?

Hi all,

I'd like to use a counter to assess convergence of a MapReduce
algorithm.  It's clear how I can increment counters inside of a mapper
or reducer, but how can I get the counter value in the driver (e.g.
before I add another map/reduce iteration)?

Thanks!
