Mike Thomsen commented on NIFI-9981:
------------------------------------
The scenario where I discovered we needed it was in PutCassandraRecord. The
Cassandra client API is not smart enough to make the conversion from a UUID
string into a Cassandra UUID type. However, it will work with a java.util.UUID.
I didn't want to go down a rabbit hole of trying to rewrite that processor to
make it able to properly convert to the expected field, so I figured adding
Avro UUID support would work. After making these changes, PutCassandraRecord
was able to insert UUID types without modification.
This might also potentially be useful with SQL databases that support UUID
types.
