struct CassUuidGen¶

A UUID generator object.

Instances of the UUID generator object are thread-safe to generate UUIDs.

Creates a new UUID generator.

Note: This object is thread-safe. It is best practice to create and reuse a single object per application.

Note: If unique node information (IP address) is unable to be determined then random node information will be generated.
