15   * <p>
16   * Creates unique message IDs.  IDs are stored in a file called {@link Home#getHomeDirectory() hapi.home}/id_file for persistence
17   * across JVM sessions.  Note that if one day you run the JVM with a new working directory,
18   * you must move or copy id_file into this directory so that new ID numbers will begin
19   * with the last one used, rather than starting over again.
20   * </p>
21   * <p>
22   * Note that as of HAPI 2.0, by default this class will not fail even if the id_file can
23   * not be read/written. In this case, HAPI will try to fail gracefully by simply generating
24   * a numeric sequence starting at zero. This behaviour can be overwritten using 
25   * {@link #NEVER_FAIL_PROPERTY}
26   * </p>
27   * Also consider using {@link FileBasedHiLoGenerator} which provides better performance
