Why is this global keyed only by the database name string in the first place?
The post mentions a generated UUID, why not use that instead, and have a per-origin mapping of database names to UUID somewhere? Or even just have separate hash-tables for each origin? Seems like a cleaner fix to me compared to sorting (imo, though admittedly, more of a complex fix with architectural changes)
Seems to me that having a global hashtable that shares information from all origins is asking for trouble, though I'm sure there is a good explanation for this (performance, historical reasons, some benefits of this architecture I'm not aware of, etc.).
