Jeremiah Jordan commented on CASSANDRA-9200:
--------------------------------------------
If you aren't going to be "Strictly Increasing" is it really more useful than
UUIDs?

>
> UUIDs are usually the right choice for surrogate keys, but sometimes
> application constraints dictate an increasing numeric value.
> We could do this by using LWT to reserve "blocks" of the sequence for each
> member of the cluster, which would eliminate paxos contention at the cost of
> not being strictly increasing.
