revert to String serialisation of UUIDs #63

Closed fommil closed 11 years ago

fommil commented 11 years ago

MongoDB doesn't support binary data in the aggregation framework. Since we're marshalling UUIDs to binary data, this is a big hindrance. The extra memory footprint incurred by String storage is worth it to enable aggregations.

It might be worth investigating if MongoDB has a more appropriate data type for UUIDs, such as ObjectId.

Will break marshalled form of existing code, so we definitely need a deprecated interim workaround.

It appears this is fixed in Mongo 2.3.2 !!
