-------------------------------------

             Summary: Use uuid.uuid4 to create unique job name
                 Key: AIRFLOW-2928
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-2928
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ken Kawamoto


some components in Airflow use the first 8 bytes of _uuid.uuid1_ to generate a unique job name. The first 8 bytes, however, seem to come from clock. so if this is called multiple times in a short time period, two ids will likely collide.
_uuid.uuid4_ provides random values.
