Sijie Guo commented on BOOKKEEPER-421:
--------------------------------------

We were thinking of introducing namespace for BookKeeper when working for 
BOOKKEEPER-181. if we had large number of topics and each topic changed ledgers 
(BOOKKEEPER-191) to consume entries, it would be easy to exhaust all the ledger 
ids. if there was namespace in BookKeeper, for each namespace we could have a 
sequential znode to generate the ledger id used in the namespace. it would make 
the id space more scale.
                
> ledger ids are long, but they are stored in zk as 10 characters max, which 
> fundamentally limits them at 9 billion

> Simple to fix, but we need it be backward compatible, which also shouldn't be
