Thank you Maxim Dounin.
Maybe I should consider a 'ngx_http_sessid_module' based on
'ngx_http_userid_module'. Any more advice?

I reviewed ngx_http_userid_module, which generates new user id if
special cookie key not found. But it has some cons:
- If this is the first time user visiting site page, nginx can't record
user id with just visited page into log file
It can. The uid_set variable contains userid cookie nginx set in
response, and may be used in log.
- If the first visited page is generated by a fastcgi process, the
fastcgi process can't get user id just generated by
ngx_http_userid_module
Yes. The above variable can't be passed to fastcgi backend since
userid module actual work happens while sending headers to client
(i.e. after fastcgi request).
Is there any way to work out? Thanks.
Userid module was designed to track users through http logs for
statistical purposes, and it solves the problem.
If you want some way to assign session id to user for
security/external data storage identifier etc (the "sessions" in php's
meaning) - you should use other means to generate them.
Note: cookies generated by userid module shouldn't be used as security
identifier, since malicious user can easily guess other user's cookie.
