IKeyGenerator

Description

Generates the unique ids assigned to table keys.

A collection's SharedTableData asks its generator for a new id whenever a key is added, and the id stays with that key for its lifetime. The default implementation is DistributedUIDGenerator, which produces non-sequential ids so several users can add keys without collisions. Implement this interface to supply a different scheme, then assign it through SharedTableData.KeyGenerator.
