PBC Get Client I

Get the client id used for this connection. Client ids are used for conflict resolution and each unique actor in the system should be assigned one. A client id is assigned randomly when the socket is connected and can be changed using Set Client ID.

Client IDs in 1.0

All requests to Riak <1.0 or Riak 1.0 without vnode_vclocks enabled should set the Client ID, which can be any string that uniquely identifies the client, for purposes of tracing object modifications in the vector clock.
