Thanks. > Now for IDs I thought this API [1] was for retrieving sequential UUIDs
I just read your reference [1]. I was surprised to read that what is labelled "sequential" is only partially sequential. The prefix is random. So it is a UUID after all, not a simple sequence . So using them on multiple doc generating servers is not a problem. I'll have to consider this. Now my only problem is that currently my app takes advantage of the utc_random algorithm. I use the id to keep docs sequenced in time and I even pull the creation time out of the ID. In retrospect that was pretty stupid.
