+### UID generation
+
+MiNiFi need to generate many unique identifiers in the course of
operations. There are a few different uid implementations available that can
be configured in minifi-uid.properties.
+
+Implementation for uid generation can be selected using the
uid.implementation property values:
+1. time - use uuid_generate_time
+2. random - use uuid_generate_random
+3. uuid_default - use uuid_generate (will attempt to use
uuid_generate_random and fall back to uuid_generate_time if no high quality
randomness is available)

I added a comment in Id.cpp to clarify the location in code I was referring
to. Sorry for the confusion.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: marco polo
> Assignee: Bryan Rosander
> Priority: Minor
>
> As [[email protected]] mentioned, we could either increment a value in
> place of generating unique identifiers for any non NiFi related comms ( i.e.
> internal objects, claims, etc )
> Generating unique identifiers is costly and this may not be a cost all
> consumers wish to incur.
