Thanks Ben. Yes, this is a better idea. I didn't want to add a new field in
the
row structure, but didn't thought about playing around with uuid. I am not
sure
if there is/will be any cases that a row that is not an index row could get
parsed
before the uuid is generated, so I think it is safer to use a magic UUID to
distinguish
index rows from others. I just submitted V2 for this.

Now I know how to use checkpatch to make my life easier. Thanks!
