IdGenerator (OpenNMS 29.0.8 API)

```
public interface IdGenerator
```
Generates ids for each GraphMLNode in the generated graph. The IdGenerator is necessary, because due to the nature of Assets. Let's assume a hierarchy "Region -> Building" should be created and two nodes from different Regions, but the same building, either two or only one GraphMLNode must be drawn. The IdGenerator allows to consider the hierarchy an GraphMLNode is added into. Example:
- Node 1, Pittsboro, Building 1
- Node 2, Berlin, Building 1
