Hi guys, before reading the docs I was afraid of creating custom _ids. But the docs [1] even says that we shouldn't rely on the auto generated UUID.
Our primary goal is to create more human readable _ids. So, in order to avoid conflicts, the idea is to introduce scoped custom _ids which starts e.g. with a leading namespace followed by a short id, e.g.: INV-HG6FU (The length of the short id depends on the expected number of documents for a certain scope/doc type) However, before going this way I would like to know if there are any drawbacks with such approach and how others achieve this. Or should we rather rely on the auto-UUID and move custom ids into its own document property, something like e.g. "publicId"? Many thanks in advance!
