> UUID is a pretty basic and common datatype used for identifiers.  It'd be nice if there was support through Writables.uuids() similar to other common data types.
> The lack of support is most likely due to the lack of formal UUIDWritable support in Hadoop itself but a UUIDWritable implementation has been posted for awhile[1] and seems pretty trivial to even roll your own and incorporate.
