Maxim Orlov commented on ARIA-165:
----------------------------------

We can uitilze the SQLAlcehmy events mechanism, which could automate the name 
composition. However, this mechanism is a bit more complicated as it requires 
better knowledge of sqlalcehmy (and SQL). Example:

Another optional fix is the use of the length of the list of the current nodes 
for the relevant node_template. This would enable easy suffices but once a node 
is deleted, a new node could get the old node's name. 
The latter is the current fix for this issue.

> Make node name suffix UUIDs become more readable

> Node names are currently constructed of the node template name with a UUID 
> suffix. While this makes the node name unique across all services, it also 
> makes the node names less readable, and since nodes are already unique via 
> their ID, it might be better to use a different type of suffix.
> One option would be to generate a shorter, no capital letters string, which 
> would be more readable, and (in very high probability) unique in a single 
> service.
> Another option would be to go for a running number suffix for each node of a 
> given node template, which could be simple, unique and readable.
