One more clarification: I have created UUID_STRING for mainly Serializer - deserializer issues. Since UUID serializer/deserializer assumes that two long values. It was not sufficient to serialize/deserialize a canonical string notation. So, when parsing the outside data, UUID_STRING is used to serialize/deserialize a UUID. And internally, we use UUID, not UUID_STRING.
