Hi,

Thank you for the link. I'm not a fan of uuid either, but its just a given 
specifics of the system I'm working with which I cannot substitute.

field with an index other than having to create the index? 

Without a uuid type I have to convert and parse/validate uuid every time 
I'm passing a certain object to/from the Orient db. It would be great just 
to be able to use uuid everywhere in the application.

Cassandra returns either uuid or timeuuid: 
https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/3.3/cql/cql_reference/uuid_type_r.html
I'm using Go and gocql is reading it into gocql.UUID type which is 
[16]byte.
