Generate ID

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I understand that ids are automatically generated if one is not provided. After reading this blog post, it seems using Java's UUID is not the best choice. Is there a way to use Elastic's internal id generator in my Java code?

Unfortunately the code is not separated into a separate dependency, if you want to use it you will need to depend on Elasticsearch itself and use org.elasticsearch.common.Strings.base64UUID() to generate a time-based UUID.

Thanks @dakrone. That worked like a charm.
I'm already using the ElasticSearch Java library, so there is no additional dependency for me to add.
