Annotation Type Id

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value={FIELD,PARAMETER})
public @interface Id

Annotation used to signify that the annotated field or parameter represents an identifier, specifically as a Nanosecond resolution timestamp from epoch.

This annotation could be used in scenarios where the system wants to generate unique identifiers based on the precise timestamp at which they are created.

The INSTANCE field is a singleton instance of the IdentifierLongConverter class, which is used to perform the conversion between long values and the nanosecond timestamp.
