As I understand labels are used for partitioning. Does the same apply for clustering?

I.E I create vertices and edges with custom properties. Assume I have a unique property called: 'nodeId'.

Now I have logical groups. each group has a UUID. I use this UUID as the vertex label.

Can I create 2 different vertices with the same nodeId if they are assigned different labels? Or is the unique index global to all labels?

http://docs.janusgraph.org/latest/indexes.html#_label_constraint

When a composite index with label restriction is defined as unique, the uniqueness constraint only applies to properties on vertices or edges for the specified label.
