+### UID generation
+
+MiNiFi need to generate many unique identifiers in the course of
operations. There are a few different uid implementations available that can
be configured in minifi-uid.properties.
+
+Implementation for uid generation can be selected using the
uid.implementation property values:
+1. time - use uuid_generate_time
+2. random - use uuid_generate_random
+3. uuid_default - use uuid_generate (will attempt to use
uuid_generate_random and fall back to uuid_generate_time if no high quality
randomness is available)

Sorry, I think my question was poorly worded. You make clear what happens
when the file exists, which is what I meant by "in the context of
uid.implementation [existing]".
My question was more about documenting what will be used if the uid
configuration file and the options don't exist. It seemed from the log message,
"Using uuid_generate_time implementation for uids." that we were simply relying
on time and not random first and then time.
