Hi all,
I am involved in a project where we're building a social application
using Cassandra DB and Java. I am looking for a solution to generate
unique sequential IDs for the content on the application. I have been
suggested by some people to have a look to Zookeeper for this. I
would highly appreciate if anyone can suggest if zookeeper is suitable
for this purpose and any good resources to gain information about
zookeeper.
Since the application is based on a eventually consistent distributed
platform using Cassandra, we have felt a need to look over to other
solutions instead of building our own using our DB.
Any kind of comments, suggestions are highly welcomed! :)

I ran into a similar id-generation issue, and wrote a library for it.
(Details described in this msg:

.)
Been planning to release it to the community, but haven't gotten around
to it yet.
Not sure my solution is exactly what you're looking for though.
HTH,
DR
