可以使用time uuids（type 1 UUID）using例如

  insert into stuff（uid，name）values（now（），'my name'） 
 

要执行此操作，您需要将uid的类型更改为timeuuid。

虽然

Just learning cassandra, is there a way to insert a UUID using CQL, ie

create table stuff (uid uuid primary key, name varchar);
insert into stuff (name) values('my name'); // fails
insert into stuff (uid, name) values(1, 'my name'); // fails

Can you do something like

insert into stuff (uid, name) values(nextuid(), 'my name');

You can with time uuids (type 1 UUID) using the now() function e.g.

insert into stuff (uid, name) values(now(), 'my name');

To do this, you will need to change the type of uid to timeuuid.

There isn't such a function for type 4 UUIDs though.
