> LocalDistributedCacheManager has this setup:
> bq. AtomicLong uniqueNumberGenerator = new AtomicLong(System.currentTimeMillis());
> to create this temporary filename:
> bq. new FSDownload(localFSFileContext, ugi, conf, new Path(destPath,  Long.toString(uniqueNumberGenerator.incrementAndGet())), resource);
> when using LocalJobRunner.  When two or more start on the same machine, then it's possible to end up having the same timestamp or a large enough overlap that two successive timestamps may not be sufficiently far apart.
> Given the assumptions:
> 1) Assume timestamp is the same. Then the most common starting random seed will be the same.
> 2) Process ID will very likely be unique, but will likely be close in value.
> 3) Thread ID is not guaranteed to be unique.
> A unique ID based on PID as a seed (in addition to the timestamp) should be a better unique identifier for temporary filenames.
