Mahout做协同过滤是的ID类型问题

mahout做推荐的输入只能是long类型，但在某些网站中，存储的数据不是long类型，是string类型。
现在的手机APP，每个手机都有其device_id，也是string类型。如果能以string类型作为uid，即使用户不注册，不登录。只要采用device_id作为其uid，也可以做精准推荐。
mahout提供了一个接口，能把string转为唯一的long类型数据，然后以map方式存储起来，计算完成后再把long转为string类型。

package test;  

import org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.impl.model.MemoryIDMigrator;  

public class TestMT {  

    public static void main(String[] args) {  
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
        String test = "d140615p10693zc";  
        MemoryIDMigrator thing2long = new MemoryIDMigrator();         
        Long testLong = thing2long.toLongID(test);        
        System.out.println(testLong);         
        thing2long.storeMapping(testLong, test);          
        String a =thing2long.toStringID(testLong);        
        System.out.println(a);  
    }  
}  

MemoryIDMigrator 源码

package org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.impl.model;

import java.util.Iterator;
import org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.impl.common.FastByIDMap;
import org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.impl.model.AbstractIDMigrator;
import org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.model.UpdatableIDMigrator;

public final class MemoryIDMigrator extends AbstractIDMigrator implements UpdatableIDMigrator {
   
    private final FastByIDMap<String> longToString = new FastByIDMap(100);

    public MemoryIDMigrator() {
    }

    public void storeMapping(long longID, String stringID) {
        FastByIDMap var4 = this.longToString;
        synchronized(this.longToString) {
            this.longToString.put(longID, stringID);
        }
    }

    public String toStringID(long longID) {
        FastByIDMap var3 = this.longToString;
        synchronized(this.longToString) {
            return (String)this.longToString.get(longID);
        }
    }

    public void initialize(Iterable<String> stringIDs) {
        Iterator i$ = stringIDs.iterator();

        while(i$.hasNext()) {
            String stringID = (String)i$.next();
            this.storeMapping(this.toLongID(stringID), stringID);
        }

    }
}
