### clearRequestId()

    public StartDistributionRequest.Builder clearRequestId()

Optional. A request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID
so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore
the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee
that for at least 60 minutes since the first request.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the
request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID,
the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was
received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients
from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is
not supported `(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)`.

### getRequestIdBytes()

    public ByteString getRequestIdBytes()

Optional. A request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID
so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore
the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee
that for at least 60 minutes since the first request.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the
request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID,
the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was
received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients
from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is
not supported `(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)`.

### setRequestId(String value)

    public StartDistributionRequest.Builder setRequestId(String value)

Optional. A request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID

request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID,
the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was
received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients
from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is
not supported `(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)`.
