Hi,

I'm trying to implement a String->Long dictionary, as I'm doing text
processing in M/R and would like to speed up my things.
In order to implement the mapping, I need to access a high speed atomic
counter that allows me to pick the latest used Long, increment it and
use it for the latest-discovered new word to put in the dictionary.

At first i thought about using a regular sequential znode and use the
sequence number as the counter value, but I realize the sequence number
is an int, while i'd like a long. Is that correct? I'm refering to
Stat.getVersion() in the API.

In case this strategy is unfeasible, the second possibility is to use a
WriteLock to "/counter" to control access the payload of the znode,
where i'd put the counter value, or access to a special row in
cassandra, where i'd put the counter value. The Cassandra option is
probably the best possibility, as i'm storing my dictionary there
anyway, but I'd like to hear from you about latency and performance for
this options in ZK.


Thanks

Claudio
