Abstract

A computer implemented method implemented with a processor for assigning a unique identifier for a data item initially deployed at a node of a networked environment includes determining a unique node identifier for the node of the networked environment, atomically modifying a local counter value at the node of the networked environment, and appending the unique node identifier to the atomically modified local counter value at the node of the networked environment to form a unique ID for the data item.
