How does step 1 work? My understanding is that the ID from the master tells you which volume server to write to. If you're generating it randomly, then are you saying you have queried the master server for the number of volumes upfront & then just randomly distribute it that way?

You just need a unique id (which you generate it locally). And you need an writable volume-id, which you can query the master, master-follower, cache it, or query a volume-server directly.
