ULID¤
Python Plugin
This operator is part of a Python Plugin Package. In order to use it, you need to install it, e.g. with cmemc.
ULID is a proposed identifier scheme, which produces time-based, random and sortable strings. The following features are highlighted in the specification:
- 128-bit compatibility with UUID
- 1.21e+24 unique ULIDs per millisecond
- Lexicographically sortable!
- Canonically encoded as a 26 character string, as opposed to the 36 character UUID
- Uses Crockford’s base32 for better efficiency and readability (5 bits per character)
- Case insensitive
- No special characters (URL safe)
- Monotonic sort order (correctly detects and handles the same millisecond)
This transform plugin allows for creation of ULID based identifiers (plain or URN). It does not support any input entities.
