Jacek Lewandowski commented on CASSANDRA-17048:
-----------------------------------------------
Thanks [~jjirsa] for pointing this out. IIUC that ticket, it was about the
variable length of file names due to putting table name in it, where the table
name can be lengthy. The ULID identifier indeed will make the name longer by
around 20-25 characters but on the other hand its aim is to be globally unique
- if there is a need for that, the table name could be hypothetically removed
at all from the file name while keeping the file name globally unique.

> Replace the current sequential sstable generation identifier with ULID based.
> ULID is better because we do not need to scan the existing files to pick the
> starting number as well as we can generate globally unique identifiers.
