# BigCodeBench/1
Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; define `task_func` at module level.
Allowed libraries: `collections`, `random`, `string`.
```python
import collections
import random
import string
def task_func(length=100):
"""
Generate a random string of the specified length composed of uppercase and lowercase letters,
and then count the occurrence of each character in this string.
Parameters:
length (int, optional): The number of characters in the generated string. Default is 100.
Returns:
dict: A dictionary where each key is a character from the generated string and the value
is the count of how many times that character appears in the string.
Requirements:
- collections
- random
- string
Raises:
ValueError if the length is a negative number
Example:
>>> import random
>>> random.seed(42) # Ensures reproducibility for demonstration
>>> task_func(10)
{'h': 1, 'B': 2, 'O': 1, 'L': 1, 'm': 1, 'j': 1, 'u': 1, 'E': 1, 'V': 1}
"""
