<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Exactly, an edge is just a connection
between two junctions.<br>

Also have a look into the <a
href="http://karussell.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/graphhopper-news-article-in-java-magazine-and-fosdem-2014/">Java
Magazine article</a> where I described this issue. E.g. using
osm ids would require us to use a HashMap which requires more RAM
(in an array you don't need to store the indices!) and is
potentially slower than an array.<br>
<br>
If you need them nevertheless you can create a file on disc while
import to map internal ints to OSM long IDs<br>
<br>
<pre wrap="">> non deterministic edge IDs.</pre>
BTW: these IDs are deterministic in a sense that an identical OSM
file produces exactly the same graph file with the same IDs. No
random behaviour involved!<br>

<pre wrap="">I was just wondering why the OSM UIDs are not used instead of iterative
self generated non deterministic edge IDs.

<pre wrap="">
Because a single OSM way ID might yield more than one edge?
