If I use *com.eaio.uuid.UUID* directly, then I am able to do what I need (attached a Java program for the same), but unfortunately I need to deal with *java.util.UUID *in my application and I don't have its equivalent com.eaio.uuid.UUID at the point where I need the timestamp value.
Any suggestion on how I can achieve the equivalent using Hector library's
TimeUUIDUtils?
