@da_chicken: You can read more about Snowflake ID in the Wiki page linked in the article. The short story: They are bit like UUID in that you can generate them across a system in a distributed way without coordination. Unlike UUID they are only 64-bit. The first bits of the snowflake ID are structured in such a way that the values end up roughly sequentially ordered on disk. That makes them great for large tables where you need to locate specific values (such a those that store query information). |
