How to Get Entity Counters

• When a document is loaded to the session,
  the loaded entity will contain various metadata information such as ID, current change-vector, and more.

• If the document has Counters, the document metadata will also contain its counter names.
  The counter names are available for each entity using the GetCountersFor() method from the Advanced session operations.
