> As discussed on the list (at [0]) the ClusterView.getId() is currently unspecific about whether the id is stable/persistent or not. The current implementation of it is not stable and returns a new id with every changing cluster view. Without assumptions on the underlying implementation details it is not trivial to provide a stable id. This contrasts to the slingId of an InstanceDescription - which is guaranteed to be stable. A cluster can reshape and join another cluster, hence a cluster id is not trivial to be stable.
> The suggestion is to clarify the unstable nature of that id in its javadoc and marking it as deprecated - since there is no use for an unstable id really.
