xml2kvp: sibling_hash are unique across records, do not need to be #360

Closed ghukill closed 5 years ago

sibling_hashs were introduced to faciliate the roundtripping between tabular data (CSV) and XML.

For example, the following 6-char alphanumerics indicate which of these are siblings:

 'mods|mods(0b4a20)___mods|location(b9af27)___mods|url(7d1c82)___@access=preview': 'http://digital.library.wayne.edu/item/wayne:Adventur1860b50081974/thumbnail',
 'mods|mods(0b4a20)___mods|location(b9af27)___mods|url(ac6147)___@usage=primary': 'http://digital.library.wayne.edu/item/wayne:Adventur1860b50081974',

But, applying these sibling hashes makes for columns that are unique to the point of not being workable. But, they don't need to be that unique.

Sequential numbering might help with this, as opposed to 6-char uuids?

Closing - deemed to difficult to implement right now while maintaing roundtrip-ability of colums to XML.
