Add native UUID support to the Oracle NoSQL Java SDK by introducing a dedicated UUIDValue type and corresponding FieldValue.Type.UUID enumeration value.
Today, UUIDs must be stored as strings, which loses type information and requires application-level conversions. Given the widespread adoption of UUIDs as identifiers in modern distributed systems, a dedicated UUID type would improve developer experience, type safety, and interoperability.
Motivation
UUIDs have become a de facto standard for identifiers across modern applications, especially in:
Microservices architectures
Event-driven systems
Cloud-native applications
Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
Distributed databases
Entity identifiers in Java applications
Currently, developers must serialize UUID instances to strings.
