> I tested different UUID sources in Lucene
> http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2014/05/choosing-fast-unique-identifier-uuid.html
> and I was surprised to see that Flake IDs were slower than UUID V1.
> They use the same raw sources of info (timestamp, node id, sequence
> counter) but Flake ID preserves total order by keeping the timestamp
> "intact" in the leading 64 bits.
> I think the reason might be because a Flake ID will typically have a
> longish common prefix for all docs, and I think we might be able to
> optimize this in block-tree by storing that common prefix outside of
> the FST, or maybe just pre-computing the common prefix on init and
> storing the "effective" start node for the FST.
