The master tree structure will have a single global mutex and associated epoch counter.
To reduce contention on that mutex, one can compute a simple checksum of the section name and use this to address fixed number of buckets, each holding one mutex and the epoch counter. The number of buckets can be tuned to fight the contention, if needed. This technique is already used in nsv implementation. Cheers Zoran
