UUID is required for the server side implementation logically. Technically, `md5` for each service's configs makes sense or something similar. If we are using UUID to store config ID on memory, and the agent side changes the connection between agent and backend, It will be repeated to change the config. Using `md5` will avoid this question because the value is base on config content. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
