----------------------------------
Summary: Unique Small Numeric Code for each row in Cassandra
Key: CASSANDRA-12936
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12936
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CQL
Environment: All Platforms
Reporter: Aakash
We have a requirement where we need to maintain a unique number or code (easy
to remember) for the Publishers and Offerings that we will create for them.
This should be auto created may not be sequential (though we prefer the same).
We have tables for publishers with their details name, address, billing info
etc.
and similarly for offerings too.
This generated code will be used in reports and billing too, and also in
request params.
We do understand we have a unique UUID datatype, but it's too big to be
remembered, and to be used to identify unique identities.
What we need is a very basic feature used extensively in all RDBMS, but in
Cassandra there no way to implement similar functionality.
This is something that i guess would be needed by lot of people making a switch
to Cassandra - a way to generate small unique number for each entry/row in a
table

Aakash
