If you use timeUUID the chance to generate two time the same uuid is the following : considering that both client generate the uuid at the *same millisecond*, the chance of generating the same uuid is : 1/1.84467441 × 1019Which is equal to the probability for winning a national lottery for 1e11 days in a row ( for 270 million years). Well if you do have a collision you should play the lottery :).
