Kaushal/Pranith,
Thanks for clarifying this. As I understand
there are 2 id's. Please correct if there is a mistake in my assumptions:
1) HASH generated by DHT and this will
generate the same id for a given file all the time.
2) GFID which is an version 4 UUID. As per
the below links this is supposed to contain a time stamp field in it. So this
will not generate the same id for a given file all the time.

Thanks and Regards,
ram

You're probably confusing the hash as generated for the elastic hash algorithm
in DHT, with UUID. That is a combination of
I always thought that the GFID was a UUID, which was randomly generated. (The
random UUID might be being modified a little to allow some leeway with
directory listing, IIRC).
Adding gluster-devel to get more eyes on this.
