Yes, that is an option.

I started with a function of batch time, and index to generate id as long. This 
may be faster than generating UUID, with added benefit of sorting based on time.

Subject: Re: Spark Streaming: DStream - zipWithIndex


If just want arbitrary unique id attached to each record in a dstream (no 
ordering etc), then why not create generate and attach an UUID to each record?

I see a issue here. 


If rdd.id is 1000 then rdd.id * 1e9.toLong would be BIG. 


I wish there was DStream mapPartitionsWithIndex.

You can use RDD id as the seed, which is unique in the same spark 
context. Suppose none of the RDDs would contain more than 1 billion 
records. Then you can use 

rdd.zipWithUniqueId().mapValues(uid => rdd.id * 1e9.toLong + uid) 

Just a hack ..
