+ * Manages distributed locks for minion task generation using ZooKeeper 
ephemeral sequential nodes.
+ * Uses ephemeral nodes that automatically disappear when the controller 
session ends.
+ * This approach provides automatic cleanup and is suitable for long-running 
task generation.
+ * Locks are held until explicitly released or the controller session 
terminates.
+ * Locks are at the table level, to ensure that only one type of task can be 
generated per table at any given time.

Review Comment:
   Sure, I can update the comments to document this better, to answer your 
questions:
   
   - "-State" ZNode is not actually needed here - I had added it as a potential 
mechanism to check status of the task generation, but frankly don't see a need 
for this. I've been debating in my head and think it'll be better to remove 
this (let me know if you want me to keep it though). I believe there is already 
mechanisms in place to identify if the task generation went through or not? Can 
always add it back later if we see a real need, and even then need a better 
approach to maybe make this task specific or run specific
   - The "-Lock" creation - the algorithm I've used is a standard ZK lock 
recipe, which uses EPHEMERAL_SEQUENTIAL nodes to create the lock objects. You 
specify a lockPrefix (which in my code is - controllerName-lock-uuid), and ZK 
appends a sequence ID. The winner of the lock is the one with the lowest 
sequence ID.
       - IMO this is better than just trying to create a lock with a fixed name 
if it doesn't exist is to handle scenarios where multiple controllers / threads 
within the same controller do the check, find no lock, and proceed to try to 
create the lock. Using sequential nodes, we can easily choose who the winner is 
in such cases.
   
   Let me know if you'd like more discussion on this
