             Summary: Sequences
                 Key: CASSANDRA-9200
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9200
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
             Fix For: 3.1


UUIDs are usually the right choice for surrogate keys, but sometimes 
application constraints dictate an increasing numeric value.

We could do this by using LWT to reserve "blocks" of the sequence for each 
member of the cluster, which would eliminate paxos contention at the cost of 
not being strictly increasing.
