J/Redis UIDs

[David Gonzalez]

System time in MS is not sufficiently unique to act as a reliable key in redis.

Does jedis provide a preferred (fast, mathematically improbably collisions) sufficiently unique ID generator for redis? 

Is a normal Java UUID sufficient, or should i be looking at creating a global::uid and incrementing it, and using that value as my uid?

Thanks

Java UUID is good enough for almost everything. Using global uuid from redis will work but you would have an extra roundtrip to the server each time you wanted a new id. Generally I assume I will use a UUID until proven otherwise.
