// Package xid is a globally unique id generator suited for web scale // // Xid is using Mongo Object ID algorithm to generate globally unique ids: // https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/object-id/ // // - 4-byte value representing the seconds since the Unix epoch, // - 3-byte machine identifier, // - 2-byte process id, and // - 3-byte counter, starting with a random value. // // The binary representation of the id is compatible with Mongo 12 bytes Object IDs. // The string representation is using base32 hex (w/o padding) for better space efficiency // when stored in that form (20 bytes). The hex variant of base32 is used to retain the // sortable property of the id. // // Xid doesn't use base64 because case sensitivity and the 2 non alphanum chars may be an // issue when transported as a string between various systems. Base36 wasn't retained either // because 1/ it's not standard 2/ the resulting size is not predictable (not bit aligned) // and 3/ it would not remain sortable. To validate a base32 `xid`, expect a 20 chars long, // all lowercase sequence of `a` to `v` letters and `0` to `9` numbers (`[0-9a-v]{20}`). // // UUID is 16 bytes (128 bits), snowflake is 8 bytes (64 bits), xid stands in between // with 12 bytes with a more compact string representation ready for the web and no // required configuration or central generation server. // // Features: // // - Size: 12 bytes (96 bits), smaller than UUID, larger than snowflake // - Base32 hex encoded by default (16 bytes storage when transported as printable string) // - Non configured, you don't need set a unique machine and/or data center id // - K-ordered // - Embedded time with 1 second precision // - Unicity guaranteed for 16,777,216 (24 bits) unique ids per second and per host/process // // Best used with xlog's RequestIDHandler (https://godoc.org/github.com/rs/xlog#RequestIDHandler). // // References: // // - http://www.slideshare.net/davegardnerisme/unique-id-generation-in-distributed-systems // - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier // - https://blog.twitter.com/2010/announcing-snowflake package xid import ( "bytes" "crypto/sha256" "crypto/rand" "database/sql/driver" "encoding/binary" "fmt" "hash/crc32" "io/ioutil" "os" "sort" "sync/atomic" "time" ) // Code inspired from mgo/bson ObjectId // ID represents a unique request id type ID [rawLen]byte const ( encodedLen = 20 // string encoded len rawLen = 12 // binary raw len // encoding stores a custom version of the base32 encoding with lower case // letters. encoding = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv" ) var ( // objectIDCounter is atomically incremented when generating a new ObjectId.
