Pardon the repetition, but I did not see any recent topics related to UUID generation. Here is the background: we have a need to generate message UUID that is sequential, gap-less, universally unique across the cluster, and can be generated w/ minimal adverse impact on performance. We've looked at the following approaches:
1) use akka library to generate UUID - is there one available out of the box? 2) use persistent actor running as cluster singleton to generate UUID, incorporating our own algorithm - would this be a bottleneck given that the generator is a persistent actor? Should the fact that it is a cluster singleton be of concern? i.e. could occasional network congestion/latency cause problems for availability of this crucial resource? Trying to resist the urge to build a better mouse trap... 3) use Zookeeper as basis for the UUID 4) use existing library to generate UUID Surely this task must have been solved before, so it should just be a matter of getting the reference implementation, we would hope. I would appreciate comments/suggestions regarding best approach to implement UUID generation given task parameters described above.
