"myrow" is just the row identifier, it could really be String (or byte[]) that uniquely identifies the row. When creating a new row you choose your own identifier. This identifier should be guaranteed to be unique - as to what it is - that would depend on your domain model.
I use UUIDs - which are virtually unique for all practical purposes. Ishaaq bharath vissapragada-2 wrote: > > Yes i saw that example previously but i was confused from the explanation > given there .
