You're right, it would just be a heuristic for generating a unique
namespace but it is not unique because multiple Flink instances might be
running on the same host names (e.g. multiple processes, Docker containers). So
+1 for not adding something that can cause hard to debug problems. We have
covered the Yarn use case which makes it very convenient to setup a namespace.

> We should automatically generate different namespaces per Flink application
> in Zookeeper to avoid interference between different applications that refer
> to the same Zookeeper entries.
