[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7366) Use node's hostId instead of generating counterId-s

["Sylvain Lebresne (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7366?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14026179#comment-14026179 ] 

Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-7366:
---------------------------------------------

The one downside I see might be that, unless I'm wrong, this will roughly double the size of the counters for all existing ones and I wonder if the code saved is worth that disagreement for our users.

I'm slightly ambivalent here on what is the best choice. On the one side if we ever do this, better do it sooner than later. On the other side, we've already made many chances to counters, so keeping a small amount of code to save some trouble to upgrades feels nicer.

Anyway, not feeling extremely strongly here though slightly leaning towards keeping things as they are to be nice to upgraders if I'd have to pick. But with that caveat, +1 on the patch technically speaking.

> Now that we no longer renew, or have to renew, counter ids - we can/should simply reuse the node's hostId.
