For example, using a sequential UUID algorithm while uploading a large batch of documents will avoid the need to rewrite many intermediate B-tree nodes. A random UUID algorithm may require rewriting intermediate nodes on a regular basis, resulting in significantly decreased throughput and wasted disk space space due to the append-only B-tree design. It is generally recommended to set your own UUIDs, or use the sequential algorithm unless you have a specific need and take into account the likely need for compaction to re-balance the B-tree and reclaim wasted space. .. config:option:: utc_id_suffix :: UTC ID Suffix .. versionadded:: 1.3 The ``utc_id_suffix`` value will be appended to UUIDs generated by the ``utc_id`` algorithm.
