Hello All,

I have a rather specific usecase and was looking for some suggestions on how to 
tackle it.

We have a java application that reads a configuration file on start up.  We can 
run multiple copies of this application for horizontal scaling however it 
requires we give each a unique ID between 1 and 1023.  This ID needs to be 
preset at startup and cannot be set after.

For the moment we hacked a awful bash script to inject a random number into the 
file on pod start.  Ideally we want to move the entire config file into a 
ConfigMap so we don't have to version the container image for every change.  
Ideally we need a way to have the ConfigMap generate the ID or call something 
external that does.  Eventually we'll need to ensure this ID is actually 
unique, right now we're relying on random chance.

Is this something possible with kubernetes?  We've been reading all the 
documentation we can find but so far have not come up with a real solution.

Thanks,
Andy
