github.com/influx6/npkg@v0.8.8/nxid/id.go (about) 1 // Package nxid is a globally unique id generator suited for web scale 2 // 3 // Xid is using Mongo Object ID algorithm to generate globally unique ids: 4 // https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/object-id/ 5 // 6 // - 4-byte value representing the seconds since the Unix epoch, 7 // - 3-byte machine identifier, 8 // - 2-byte process id, and 9 // - 3-byte counter, starting with a random value. 10 // 11 // The binary representation of the id is compatible with Mongo 12 bytes Object IDs. 12 // The string representation is using base32 hex (w/o padding) for better space efficiency 13 // when stored in that form (20 bytes). The hex variant of base32 is used to retain the 14 // sortable property of the id. 15 // 16 // Xid doesn't use base64 because case sensitivity and the 2 non alphanum chars may be an 17 // issue when transported as a string between various systems. Base36 wasn't retained either 18 // because 1/ it's not standard 2/ the resulting size is not predictable (not bit aligned) 19 // and 3/ it would not remain sortable. To validate a base32 `nxid`, expect a 20 chars long, 20 // all lowercase sequence of `a` to `v` letters and `0` to `9` numbers (`[0-9a-v]{20}`). 21 // 22 // UUID is 16 bytes (128 bits), snowflake is 8 bytes (64 bits), nxid stands in between 23 // with 12 bytes with a more compact string representation ready for the web and no 24 // required configuration or central generation server. 25 // 26 // Features: 27 // 28 // - Size: 12 bytes (96 bits), smaller than UUID, larger than snowflake 29 // - Base32 hex encoded by default (16 bytes storage when transported as printable string) 30 // - Non configured, you don't need set a unique machine and/or data center id 31 // - K-ordered 32 // - Embedded time with 1 second precision 33 // - Unicity guaranteed for 16,777,216 (24 bits) unique ids per second and per host/process 34 // 35 // Best used with xlog's RequestIDHandler (https://godoc.org/github.com/rs/xlog#RequestIDHandler). 36 // 37 // References: 38 // 39 // - http://www.slideshare.net/davegardnerisme/unique-id-generation-in-distributed-systems 40 // - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier 41 // - https://blog.twitter.com/2010/announcing-snowflake 42 // 43 package nxid 44 45 import ( 46 "bytes" 47 "crypto/md5" 48 "crypto/rand" 49 "database/sql/driver" 50 "encoding/binary" 51 "errors" 52 "fmt" 53 "hash/crc32" 54 "io/ioutil" 55 "os" 56 "sort" 57 "sync/atomic" 58 "time" 59 ) 60 61 // Code inspired from mgo/bson ObjectId 62 63 // ID represents a unique request id 64 type ID [rawLen]byte 65 66 const ( 67 encodedLen = 20 // string encoded len 68 rawLen = 12 // binary raw len 69 70 // encoding stores a custom version of the base32 encoding with lower case 71 // letters. 72 encoding = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv" 73 ) 74 75 var ( 76 // ErrInvalidID is returned when trying to unmarshal an invalid ID 77 ErrInvalidID = errors.New("nxid: invalid Id") 78 79 // objectIDCounter is atomically incremented when generating a new ObjectId 80 // using NewObjectId() function.
