Generate an Auto-Incrementing ID Column

My data does not come with an intrinsic primary-key. Is there a way to generate an auto-incrementing id column, like that of classic databases?

BLUF: No.

Found the answer here,

Does a unique hash work or does it need to be an increasing int? If you have timestamps (or some other ordering) on your dataset you could try the row number expression

A unique hash is what I ended up going with. Thank you!
