+/**
+ * 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.
+ * <p>
+ * ZK EPHEMERAL_SEQUENTIAL Locks (see <a 
href="https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/recipes.html#sc_recipes_Locks";>
+ *   ZooKeeper Lock Recipe.</a> for more details):
+ *   <ul>
+ *     <li>Every lock is created with a lock prefix. Lock prefix used: 
[controllerName]-lock-[UUID]. The UUID helps
+ *     differentiate between requests originating from the same controller at 
the same time
+ *     <li>When ZK creates the ZNode, it appends a sequence number at the end. 
E.g.
+ *     [controllerName]-lock-[UUID]-00000001
+ *     <li>The sequence number is used to identify the lock winner in case 
more than one lock node is created at the
+ *     same time. The smallest sequence number always wins
+ *     <li>The locks are EPHEMERAL in nature, meaning that once the session 
with ZK is lost, the lock is automatically
+ *     cleaned up. Scenarios when the ZK session can be lost: a) controller 
shutdown, b) controller crash, c) ZK session
+ *     expiry (e.g. long GC pauses can cause this)
+ *     <li>This implementation does not set up watches as described in the 
recipe as the task lock is released whenever
+ *     we identify that the lock is already acquired. Do not expect lock 
ownership to automatically change for the
+ *     time being. If such support is needed in the future, this can be 
enhanced to add a watch on the neighboring
+ *     lock node
+ *   </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * Example of how the locks will work:
+ * <p>
+ * Say we have two controllers, and one controller happens to run 2 threads at 
the same time, all of which need to take
+ * the distributed lock. Each thread will create a distributed lock node, and 
the "-Lock" ZNode getChildren will return:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>controller2-lock-xyzwx-00000002
+ *   <li>controller1-lock-abcde-00000001
+ *   <li>controller1-lock-ab345-00000003
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * In the above, the controller1 with UUID abcde will win the lock as it has 
the smallest sequence number. The other
+ * two threads will clean up their locks and return error that the distributed 
lock could not be acquired. Controller1

Review Comment:
   we won't have extra nodes anymore, but it is still possible to accidentally 
miss cleanup of the lock node. We have an API to force clean up the lock node 
and I'm also emitting a metric which can be used to track how old the lock node 
is (this is called when we check whether any task generation is ongoing for the 
given table)
   
   Hopefully the above is sufficient for now, but let me know if you have any 
other ideas or suggestions around this
