The cookie is a long in order to allow more clients and to low the chances of collision when generating them.
A lockCookie is similiar to a web browser cookie, but it is not one.

If you have some reason for it, you may do so and document it in your choices.txt. But I see no relation between the two numbers. Also, there is no restriction that one seed is used for only one record. In fact, seeds and locks/unlocks outside read/create/update methods just make sense if you are dealing with multiple record locking.

Oops, no no, magic cookies also make sense when identifing different threads that are trying to lock/unlock some record.
