Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-6108: ------------------------------------------- Sylvain's idea was to have the clients request an ID from the server on initial connection, which would let us get away with a 16 bit id. 64k simultaneous clients per cluster seems reasonable. (IDs could be reused after disconnect.) > Create timeid64 type > -------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-6108 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6108 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: API, Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.1.1 > > > As discussed in CASSANDRA-6106, we could create a 64-bit type with 48 bits of > timestamp and 16 bites of unique coordinator id. This would give us a > unique-per-cluster value that could be used as a more compact replacement for > many TimeUUID uses. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
