Torgeir Veimo created OAK-6419:
----------------------------------
Summary: unique id generator
Key: OAK-6419
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-6419
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Torgeir Veimo
Priority: Minor
It would be great to have a way to safely generate unique id's for node names,
with oak configured in a cluster configuration.
This is useful for creating unique slug names for documents, and ensuring
unique names for node siblings, or node names repository wide.
It could be implemented as a sequence generator, or similar to how mongodb
generates object ids; https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/object-id/.
With the older jackrabbit implementation it is possible to have a sequence
guaranteed to provide unique id's, using enforceable locks. With oak theres no
such guarantee when used in a clustered configuration.
