Auto-generate batch names #9

Closed bitsgalore closed 7 years ago

bitsgalore commented 7 years ago

E.g. something based on prefix, date, time. Must be human-readable to some degree (so no UUIDs here).

Based on UUIDs so NOT very human-readable. Reason: simpler schemes (e.g. based on YYY-MM-DD and number) can result in duplicates if the code is run in parallel on different machines. This can result in all sorts of trouble, so keeping the batch names unique is probably more important than human-readability.
