Nicholas Tietz commented on SPARK-1153:
---------------------------------------

We are also running into this issue and would like this feature. For our use 
case and our data size, even a low risk of hash collisions is not acceptable, 
so we have to have a reliable way to form unique ids from our current unique 
string ids.

I'm going to work on a patch next week.

Since this is marked "won't fix" due to inactivity, what's the process if a PR 
is submitted? (Sorry, new to the Apache contribution process.)

> Generalize VertexId in GraphX so that UUIDs can be used as vertex IDs.

> Currently, {{VertexId}} is a type-synonym for {{Long}}. I would like to be 
> able to use {{UUID}} as the vertex ID type because the data I want to process 
> with GraphX uses that type for its primay-keys. Others might have a different 
> type for their primary-keys. Generalizing {{VertexId}} (with a type class) 
> will help in such cases.
