With the recent approval of UUIDv7 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9562/), this PR aims to add a new static method UUID.timestampUUID() which constructs and returns a UUID in support of the new time generated UUID version.
The specification requires embedding the current timestamp in milliseconds into the first bits 0–47. The version number in bits 48–51, bits 52–63 are available for sub-millisecond precision or for pseudorandom data. The variant is set in bits 64–65. The remaining bits 66–127 are free to use for more pseudorandom data or to employ a counter based approach for increased time percision (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9562.html#name-uuid-version-7). The choice of implementation comes down to balancing the sensitivity level of being able to distingush UUIDs created below <1ms apart with performance. A test simulating a high-concurrency environment with 4 threads generating 10000 UUIDv7 values in parallel to measure the collision rate of each implementation (the amount of times the time based portion of the UUID was not unique and entries could not distinguished by time) yeilded the following results for each implemtation: - random-byte-only - 99.8% - higher-precision - 3.5% - counter-based - 0% Performance tests show a decrease in performance as expected with the counter based implementation due to the introduction of synchronization: - random-byte-only 143.487 ± 10.932 ns/op - higher-precision 149.651 ± 8.438 ns/op - counter-based 245.036 ± 2.943 ns/op The best balance here might be to employ a higher-precision implementation as the large increase in time sensitivity comes at a very slight performance cost. ------------- Commit messages: - update to add ns percision - 3 variantions - UUID src and test Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25303/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=25303&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8334015 Stats: 108 lines in 2 files changed: 104 ins; 0 del; 4 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25303.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/25303/head:pull/25303 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25303
