That really is vanishingly small.
So, rationally, I'd guess it is more likely there is a problem with the implementation of UUID you are using, or just perhaps there is some other cause of the collision...like a bug?
- WorldMaker 9y agoAlso possibly a problem with the version of UUID used. A v1 UUID is somewhat likely to collide if machines share MAC addresses and/or have problematic clocks. The likelihood of a v4 collision is tied to the strength of the platform's (crypto) RNG.
