Cluster-wide Unique Identifier (SAFplus::Handle)
The Cluster-wide Unique Identifier is a handle that can be used to identify something anywhere within the cluster.
Special identifiers exist that can be constructed from other data (such as the Node's slot number). Other identifiers persist across restarts (well known). Some identifiers do not; they point directly to an object in memory.
Data Format
4 bit identifier type
Identifier Type: Pointer (0)
64 bit pointer 32 bit process id 16 bit node id (slot number and messaging address) 12 bit cluster id 4 bit identifier type
Identifier Type: Transient Well Known (1)
Note: "0" means NONE, 0xFFFF (all ones of whatever size) means THIS_ENTITY

Handle |
A handle is looked up in a Dictionary that is shared by all entities described in the handle. For example, a handle with:
1 |
0xffff |
0 |
0 |
5 |
is entry 5 in a Dictionary shared by all nodes and processes in this cluster. But:
1 |
0xffff |
1 |
2 |
5 |
is entry 5 in process 2 on node 1 on this cluster
Identifier Type: Persistent Well Known (2)
Same as Well Known (1), except node id and process id are numbers corresponding to SAF names. So must be looked up in a persistent cluster-wide Dictionary.
