Topic: Period in generated ID's

I just discovered resources in my HAPI repository with weird ID's...
Our ressource ID's are just sequential numbers, like

"id": "57140",

But now I see resources with long generated ID's with periods in them.

 "id": "0.7926044446109661"

These resources are created in a transactional bundle.
Other resources created in the same bundle has got ID's with "proper" syntax (ie. no periods)
I wonder if this behaviour is caused by us trying to create too many resources in one go?, and that the HAPI server can't reserve more than x number of "proper" ID's?
Is this something that we can configure on the client/server?
Thanks

I would assume those were created by client-assigned ID (i.e. create using an HTTP PUT). HAPI is not able to generate IDs that have dots in them.
