Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-7925:
---------------------------------------------

bq. It's currently used for paxos.

Right, and that's not a problem for Paxos.

bq. Also, I imagine we will still allow the clients to specify timestamps (esp 
for thrift) in CASSANDRA-7919

We certainly will want to preserve backward compatibility (both for thrift and 
CQL), but doing so mean that we will need to guarantee to 2 updates with the 
same (user provided) timestamp actually *do* conflict, and this no matter what 
node the update hits. So in fact, we'll probably have to hardcode a LSB to use 
for all update with user provided timestamp. In any case, I think anticipating 
problems for CASSANDRA-7919 is a bit premature. It's not like we can't change 
this if we really need to later.

In general, I'd prefer keeping it to a fixed LSB for a given process if 
possible: it's a tad simpler, better for compression and a bit closer to the 
timeuuid RFC imo. And as of now, I think that's good enough.

> TimeUUID LSB should be unique per process, not just per machine

>  lsb collisions are also possible serverside.
> a sufficient solution would be to include references to pid and classloader 
> within lsb.
