This patch contains only UUID patch.

> Consider the following code:
> {code}
> public class AvroExample
> {
>     public static void main (String [] args) throws Exception
>     {
>         ReflectData rdata = ReflectData.AllowNull.get();
>         Schema schema = rdata.getSchema(Temp.class);
>         
>         ReflectDatumWriter<Temp> datumWriter = 
>                new ReflectDatumWriter (Temp.class, rdata);
>         DataFileWriter<Temp> fileWriter = 
>                new DataFileWriter<Temp> (datumWriter);
>         ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
>         fileWriter.create(schema, baos);
>         fileWriter.append(new Temp());
>         fileWriter.close();
>         byte[] bytes = baos.toByteArray();
>         GenericDatumReader<GenericRecord> datumReader = 
>                 new GenericDatumReader<GenericRecord> ();
>         SeekableByteArrayInput avroInputStream = 
>                 new SeekableByteArrayInput(bytes);
>         DataFileReader<GenericRecord> fileReader = 
>                 new DataFileReader<GenericRecord>(avroInputStream, datumReader);
>         schema = fileReader.getSchema();
>         GenericRecord record = null;
>         record = fileReader.next(record);
>         System.out.println (record);
>         System.out.println (record.get("id"));
>     }
> }
> class Temp
> {
>     UUID id = UUID.randomUUID();
>     Date date = new Date();
>     BigInteger bi = BigInteger.TEN;
> }
> {code}
> Output from this code is:
> {code:javascript}
> {"id": {}, "date": {}, "bi": "10"}
> {code}
> UUID and Date type fields are very common in Java and can be found a lot in third-party code as well (where it may be difficult to put annotations).
> So Avro should include a default serialization/deserialization support for such fields.
