Hi team,

I need your advice on this patch[1], which aims to implement etcd DB data model 
and API
for 'ResourceClass' object.

As you may know, in mysql implementation, mysql will generate a 'id' field, 
which is an
unique and auto increase integer. The 'id' is also used as 'primary key' or 
'foreign key'
in mysql[2].

However, in etcd implementation, etcd will NOT generate this 'id' itself, so I 
intend to
use the 'uuid' attribute of the object instead of 'id', and modify the DB API 
method to use
'uuid' as object ident instead of 'id', like[3]. Personally I feel using 'uuid' 
is more
reasonable because 'id' is a specific field in DB like mysql, seems it does not 
have actual
meaning in data model, right?

An alternative way Hongbin suggested is to generate an unique 'id' like mysql 
by ourselves
and insert the 'id' into etcd data model. But he said he's OK with the idea to 
replace 'id'
with 'uuid' if it does not break anything.

What's your opinion on this issue? Thanks in advance!
