Yes. We did something similar in JGroups, take a look at
ENCRYPT.byteArrayToHexString().
Since HotRod is a binary protocol I meant to send the UUID as it is
(no encoding whatsoever).
I think sending the UUID as a hex-encoded string, a raw byte array, or
a 32-bit hash (since that's all we need on the client) are all valid
choices.
