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.

TIA

Cheers,
