Context ID

A context ID is a UUID that is used when making requests to MARS or to Merino to help reduce click fraud.

The Context ID Rust component creates a shared mechanism for managing context IDs, and to allow them to be rotated after they have exceeded some age.

It is currently under construction and not yet used.

Tests

Tests are run with

cargo test -p context_id
