See T6742, D10998. We currently generate fairly verbose lease names, like:
123:23923480:some-host.domain.com:1
Functionally, these names only need to be unique. There is also some debugging value in being able to figure out which daemon owns a task (and where it's running), but this is currently conflated with the lease name. After D10998, we also artificially truncate hosts to avoid overflows.
A cleaner approach might be:
- Use a random lease name.
- Add a `leaseDaemonID` column to store the diagnostic identity of the lease owner.
- Store daemon host, PID in the daemon logs (I think they're already stored there).
- Maybe write timestamps separately although I don't think these are nearly as diagnostically useful as host/PID.
T6615 discusses some similar opportunities to clean up the structure of this table.
