- Method Detail
  - generator
```
java.util.function.Supplier<T> generator(java.util.stream.Stream<SSTableId> existingIdentifiers)
```
    Creates a new generator of identifiers. Each supplied value must be different to all the previously generated values and different to all the provided existing identifiers.
  - isUniqueIdentifier
```
boolean isUniqueIdentifier(java.lang.String str)
```
  - isUniqueIdentifier
```
boolean isUniqueIdentifier(java.nio.ByteBuffer bytes)
```
  - fromString
```
T fromString(java.lang.String str)
      throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    Creates an identifier instance from its string representation
    
    Parameters:
    
    str - string representation as returned by SSTableId.toString()
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - when the provided string is not a valid string representation of the identifier
  - fromBytes
```
T fromBytes(java.nio.ByteBuffer bytes)
     throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    Creates an identifier instance from its binary representation
    The method expects the identifier is encoded in all remaining bytes of the buffer. The method does not move the pointer of the buffer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bytes - binary representation as returned by SSTableId.asBytes()
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - when the provided bytes are not a valid binary representation of the identifier
