[jira] Resolved: (COUCHDB-1071) Integer UUIDS (1, 2, 3, ...)

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1071?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Robert Newson resolved COUCHDB-1071.
------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

The UUID's that couchdb generates need to give a very low probability of collisions, especially between servers.

We supply three algorithms (sequential, random and utc_random) which we feel provide that guarantee.

Nothing forces you to use CouchDB's generated UUID's. If you include a "_id" key in your document, it will be used. We only generate a UUID if you do not provide your own id.
