/**
 * TransactionId value should be unique per request coming from an external agent so that all events occurring in
 * response to the same external stimulus can be tied together.
 *
 * Calls to external systems should propagate the value returned by {@link #createSubTransactionId()} so that Audit
 * events reported by the external system can also be tied back to the original stimulus.
 *
 * Due to the fact that each TransactionId instance creates a sequence of sub-transaction IDs, the same TransactionId
 * object should be used while fulfilling a given request; it is not appropriate to create multiple instances of
 * TransactionId with the same value as this would lead to duplicate sub-transaction ID values. As such, two instances
 * of TransactionId with the same value are not considered equal.
 *
 * This class is thread-safe.
