>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2590
>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Java API, Scala API
>    Affects Versions: 0.10, master
>            Reporter: Martin Junghanns
>            Assignee: Martin Junghanns

> The function creates IDs using the following code:
> {code:java}
> shifter = log2(numberOfParallelSubtasks)
> id = counter << shifter + taskId;
> {code}
> As the binary function + is executed before the bitshift <<, this results in cases where different tasks create the same ID. It essentially calculates
> {code}
> counter*2^(shifter+taskId)
> {code}
> which is 0 for counter = 0 and all values of shifter and taskID.
> Consider the following example.
> numberOfParallelSubtaks = 8 
> shifter = log2(8) = 4 (maybe rename the function?)
> produces:
> {code}
> start: 1, shifter: 4 taskId: 4 label: 256
> start: 2, shifter: 4 taskId: 3 label: 256
> start: 4, shifter: 4 taskId: 2 label: 256
> {code}
> I would suggest the following:
> {code}
> counter*2^(shifter)+taskId
> {code}
> which in code is equivalent to
> {code}
> shifter = log2(numberOfParallelSubtasks);
> id = (counter << shifter) + taskId;
> {code}
> and for our example produces:
> {code}
> start: 1, shifter: 4 taskId: 4 label: 20
> start: 2, shifter: 4 taskId: 3 label: 35
> start: 4, shifter: 4 taskId: 2 label: 66
> {code}
> So we move the counter to the left and add the task id. As there is space for 2^shifter numbers, this prevents collisions.
