#### 2.3.11. UUID as binary

<div class="paragraph">

As mentioned, the default mapping for UUID attributes.
Maps the UUID to a `byte[]` using `java.util.UUID#getMostSignificantBits` and `java.util.UUID#getLeastSignificantBits` and stores that as `BINARY` data.

<div class="paragraph">

Chosen as the default simply because it is generally more efficient from storage perspective.
