------------------------------------

             Summary: Have each container instance for a role be assigned with 
a unique integer id starting at 1 up to maximum requested instances
                 Key: SLIDER-463
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLIDER-463
             Project: Slider
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: agent-provider
    Affects Versions: Slider 0.50
            Reporter: Sumit Mohanty

Apps can request a number of instances and the id associated with a container 
is the container id. However, container ids are not a reliable way to load 
balance a work load across several instances. This is because container id is 
not guaranteed to be well-distributed for specific role instances.

A good example of application requiring a id is memcached where clients need to 
know which memcached daemon instance to connect for specific keys (e..g hash a 
key to obtain an integer and access the daemon associated with that integer). 
Alternatively, another example will be an application of peers that select 
workload based on their id. Say, an application processes 100 data points and 
component instances can select which sub-range to process based on their id.
