The entity REST API exposes guids as the unique identifiers by which entities can be found. > Some objects like taxonomy have a guid internally but externally it is referenced by name. My feeling is that an object can have a unique guid and a unique name. > Some objects like trait and trait instance do not have guids at all. So their management is tied to their name. > Having a unique identifier for all objects allows for common ways for them to be managed, it also means that renames do not change the object identity. > We have system level attributes already. In a similar way I suggest we add in guids to all objects. > Also at the graph level if every vertex has a guid property - which is indexed, Gremlin queries are simpler (possibly more perfomant), and edges can be created in a standard way by supplying the in and out guids. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
