Description
Add native UUID support to the Oracle NoSQL Java SDK by introducing a dedicated UUIDValue type and corresponding FieldValue.Type.UUID enumeration value.
Today, UUIDs must be stored as strings, which loses type information and requires application-level conversions. Given the widespread adoption of UUIDs as identifiers in modern distributed systems, a dedicated UUID type would improve developer experience, type safety, and interoperability.
Motivation
UUIDs have become a de facto standard for identifiers across modern applications, especially in:
Microservices architectures
Event-driven systems
Cloud-native applications
Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
Distributed databases
Entity identifiers in Java applications
Currently, developers must serialize UUID instances to strings.

Research direction
Start by locating the FieldValue.Type enumeration and the existing typed value classes in the Java SDK; the issue names UUIDValue and FieldValue.Type.UUID as the primary entry points. Trace how existing values are represented and serialized, then verify that UUIDs can be stored as a native type without application-level string conversion.
