Description

Currently, node ids are generated using a (cryptographically secure pseudo-) random number generator. This has a many advantages (easy to implement, easy to merge nodes from multiple repositories or cluster nodes), but is a performance bottleneck for large repositories.

In addition to generating random node ids, Jackrabbit should support generating sequential node ids.
