             Summary: Unique Small Numeric Code for each row in Cassandra
                 Key: CASSANDRA-12936
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12936
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: CQL
         Environment: All Platforms
            Reporter: Aakash



We have a requirement where we need to maintain a unique number or code (easy to remember) for the Publishers and Offerings that we will create for them. This should be auto created may not be sequential (though we prefer the same).

We have tables for publishers with their details name, address, billing info etc.

and similarly for offerings too.

This generated code will be used in reports and billing too, and also in request params.

We do understand we have a unique UUID datatype, but it's too big to be remembered, and to be used to identify unique identities.

What we need is a very basic feature used extensively in all RDBMS, but in Cassandra there no way to implement similar functionality.

This is something that i guess would be needed by lot of people making a switch to Cassandra - a way to generate small unique number for each entry/row in a table
