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

             Summary: Node IDs are not guaranteed to be unique after reboot
                 Key: IGNITE-9499
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-9499
             Project: Ignite
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Chaouki Dhib


Ignite uses the JDK's UUID.randomUUID() method to generated a UUID as the the node id. This method generates UUID of variant 2 and of version 4. The version 4 is just a randomly generated ID. Therefore, there is no guarantee that after a reboot, a node will have not the same ID as before. The probably of this happening is extremely small [1], but the fact is, the current implementation is non-deterministic. The problem can easily be fixed by using a UUID of version 1 (that makes use of a timestamp and of the node's MAC address) [2].
