Igor Sapego commented on IGNITE-10721:
--------------------------------------

[~alexey.kosenchuk], 

The documentation was invalid, so it should be fixed in current version (and 
probably in all previous versions as well).

UUID is 128-bit number which is stated in its description. RFC 4122 tells that 
as well. In our protocol we do not define a format of this number, as I don't 
see how user may benefit from such a definition as all parts of the system only 
treat UUID as a large number. The details on how such number is generated is 
not really relevant for the system.

Now when we sat that UUID is just a 128-bit number "64 most significant bits of 
UUID" and "64 least significant bits of UUID" should be quite obvious. Do you 
have proposals on how can we improve description here?

> UUID thin client format description [1] need to be fixed. The actual format 
> of the UUID should be two longs, not a single 128-bit value. Two longs 
> written in little-endian are not equal to one 128-bit number.
