    Aerospike doesn’t support auto-incrementing ID due to its distributed nature.

    Check out the following threads that describes it with more details.
    Alternative suggestion might be to use a generated unique id as a primary key:

    Check out using ULIDs perhaps, these can be generated client side and there are libraries for many programming languages.

    Quoting from their spec:

    • 128-bit compatibility with UUID
    • 1.21e+24 unique ULIDs per millisecond
    • Lexicographically sortable!
    • Canonically encoded as a 26 character string, as opposed to the 36 character UUID
    • Uses Crockford’s base32 for better efficiency and readability (5 bits per character)
    • Case insensitive
    • No special characters (URL safe)
    • Monotonic sort order (correctly detects and handles the same millisecond)

    We use these for client side ID generation in the Redis OM libraries.
