- grzm 8y agoTimestamps in UUID values shouldn't be (and generally aren't) used for coordination between nodes (where such precision an accuracy would be important): they're used for rough sorting and partitioning of values. Indeed, node-generated timestamps should never be used for coordination regardless of whether they're encoded in UUIDs or not.
