Poco::UUID/UUIDGenerator: add support for Version 6 and Version 7 UUIDs

Open obiltschnig opened this issue 8 months ago • 3 comments

Version 7 UUIDs (UUIDv7) are designed for keys in high-load databases and distributed systems. UUIDv7 begins with a 48 bit big-endian Unix Epoch timestamp with approximately millisecond granularity. The timestamp can be shifted by any time shift value. Directly after the timestamp follows the version nibble, that must have a value of 7. The variant bits have to be 10x. Remaining 74 bits are random seeded counter (optional, at least 12 bits but no longer than 42 bits) and random.
