Before the release of Pulp 3.0 GA, I think it’s worth just checking in to make sure we want to use UUIDs over integer based IDs. Changing from UUIDs to ints would be a very easy change at this point (1-2 lines of code) but after GA ships, it would be hard if not impossible to switch.
I think there are a number of reasons why we might want to consider integer IDs: - Better performance all around for inserts[0], searches, indexing, etc - Less storage required (4 bytes for int vs 16 byes for UUIDs) - Hrefs would be shorter (e.g. /pulp/api/v3/repositories/1/) - In line with other apps like Katello There are some downsides to consider though: - Integer ids expose info like how many records there are - Can’t support sharding or multiple dbs (are we ever going to need this?)
