adding unique internal identifier to records, `combine_id` #123

Closed ghukill closed 6 years ago

ghukill commented 6 years ago

Related to #122, something that will help address the problem of identifiers will be slightly changing how they are handled internally. This issue outlines the process of adding a new column combine_id, a randomly generated UUID hash at a record's creation.

It will keep the record_id as a string that is semantically meaningful, and will be used for publishing. What this allows for, is altering the record_id if desirable, perhaps even a dedicated task in Combine.

Current progress:

Done

ToDo

*moving considerations about uniqueness to new issue: #125
