How to use aerospike to generate a unique auto-incrementing ID，like redis

i want to use aerospike to generate a unique auto-incrementing ID,like redis 。I don't know how I can do it，Has anyone tried this? For example: If I am saving some Person data in DB, Do I need to create a uid for the Person or it is auto generated by the database

Solution

  • Aerospike doesn't support auto-incrementing ID due to its distributed nature.

    Check out the following threads that describes it with more details. Alternative suggestion might be to use a generated unique id as a primary key:
