An implementation of distributed ID.
Based on Snowflake,but resolve time back, and have higher performance(10 times faster), I call it Meteor.
Here is the benchmark Meteor compare to Snowflake

go get -u github.com/TheFutureIsOurs/meteor
import "github.com/TheFutureIsOurs/meteor"
node, _ := meteor.NewNode(0)
id, _ := node.Generate()I'd strongly recommend that keep nodeID uniq when you NewNode, include reload you service or add new machine. You can use mysql's increase id to keep you NodeID unique.
int64
Explain：
0:the first bit do nothing(positive number)
Data section is the time difference when the current NodeID is created. So Meteor just rely on the system time when one NodeID is created. This can resolve time back.
NodeID section，for the result ID unique, we should keep the NodeID unique. For example, if we add new machine or one machine is reload, we should increase the NodeID, we can use mysql do this.
Serial section is 11 bits, increment when the generator is called. the Data section should +1 when the serial reach 2048, then the serial began from zero.
Rand section is 3 bits. Why we need this? Just because we want discrete IDs. For example, if the result id is 1,2,3,4 etc,which is easy to get next. Why Snowflake do not have rand num? Because Snowflake is based on millisecond, the qps should reach 4096000, the result ID can continuous.
Because we need rand section,what random algorithm we should choose? As we know, most random algorithm is based on the system time as seed. If we use this, we can't reach our goal:high performace than Snowflake and can't remove system time when generator. We need high performance random algorithm. I choose the Xorshift algorithm。
Let's generator 10 IDs:
