Hi everyone,
Some of the previous data type conversations reminded me of a question
that's been on my mind for a while. What do you think of dropping
auto-increment keys and replacing them completely with UUIDs?
Auto-incrementing is one of the banes of horizontal scaling so it seems
reasonable to substitute something that works across partitions and data
copies. Or at least to give application developers an opportunity to
suppress it.
I am all for having an auto UUID type or property or default. But, I
would not want to see auto_increment removed. What would it save? I
don't want to force one thing on people over another.
