64 bit unique id generator
import scala.util.Random
import java.security.SecureRandom
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong
import org.joda.time.DateTimeUtils
/**
* 64 bit unique id generator
* Features:
* 1. generate ascending or descending ids
* 2. 64 bit id consists of:
* - 41 bits of time in ms since epoch
* - 23 bits of one of the following:
* 1. incr or decr counter starting at a random value
* 2. pseudo random value
* 3. secure random value
* 3. ascending id is backward compatible with Twitter Snowflake ids (https://github.com/twitter/snowflake).
