-------------------------------------
> Add auto-primary-key feature

> Key: HBASE-587
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-587
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Some folks seem to be interested in having their row keys automatically
> generated in a unique fashion. Maybe we could do something like allow the
> user to specify they want an automatic key, and then we'll generate a GUID
> that's unique for that table and return it as part of the commit. Not sure
> what the mechanics would look like exactly, but seems doable and it's going
> to be a more prevalent use case as people start to put data into HBase first
> without touching another system or pushing data without a natural unique
> primary key.
