Add a UUID type

[the-other-tim-brown]

Create a UUID type in OneType and handle it appropriately in all converters. Only Iceberg has a concept of a UUID and it is a fixed size byte array in the underlying parquet files. We should aim to preserve the metadata that this byte array came from a UUID for round trip conversions.

/assign How can I assign it to myself? :)

I've assigned it to you. It may be a github permissions issue and only repo owners can assign. In the top right there is assignees if you are not familiar with the GitHub UI for issues.

is this issue resolved ?
Could you assign it to me ?

[the-other-tim-brown]

@genzarchitect this is not resolved but there is an open PR. @yyy1000 are you still working on this?

[yyy1000]

@the-other-tim-brown Sorry about that, I became busy these days so I can't work on this. :(

[the-other-tim-brown]

@yyy1000 no worries. Feel free to reach out when you are less busy if you want to work on any other features.

@genzarchitect I've reassigned this to you. Take a look at #267 for the progress that was already made on the task.

@the-other-tim-brown I noticed this issue has been open for more than 6 months, and I was wondering if I could help by working on it if @genzarchitect is busy currently?

[the-other-tim-brown]

@danielhumanmod, yes feel free to assign it to yourself and let me know if you need any help getting setup or making the changes.

Thanks, @the-other-tim-brown . I’ve submitted an initial PR (#518) to address this issue. However, I’ve also left some comments in the PR as questions regarding the Hudi converter. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a look and help me with those.

BTW, would you mind helping to assign this issue to me? It seems I don’t have the permissions. XD
