Cluster Wide ID Generator
Hazelcast IdGenerator creates cluster wide unique IDs. Generated IDs are long type primitive values between 0 and Long.MAX_VALUE. ID generation occurs almost at the speed of AtomicLong.incrementAndGet(). Generated IDs are unique during the life cycle of the cluster. If the entire cluster is restarted, IDs start from 0 again or you can initialize to a value.

idGenerator.init(123L); //Optional
