-----------------------------------
Hey Micah,
What do you think about doing this as a derived type for a Pair<Long, Long>--
sort of like how we do BigInteger support in o.a.c.types.PTypes? Then we get
the support for both Avro and Writable type families.
> UUID PType support for Writables

> 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.
