Method Summary
`static byte[]` `decompose(java.util.UUID uuid)` decomposes a uuid into raw bytes.
`static long` `getAdjustedTimestamp(java.util.UUID uuid)` Returns a milliseconds-since-epoch value for a type-1 UUID.
`static byte[]` `getTimeUUIDBytes()` Returns a 16 byte representation of a type 1 UUID (a time-based UUID), based on the current system time.
`static byte[]` `getTimeUUIDBytes(long timeMillis)` Converts a milliseconds-since-epoch timestamp into the 16 byte representation of a type 1 UUID (a time-based UUID).
`static java.util.UUID` `getUUID(java.nio.ByteBuffer raw)` creates a type 1 uuid from raw bytes.
`static java.util.UUID` `makeType1UUIDFromHost(java.net.InetAddress addr)` Creates a type 1 UUID (time-based UUID) that substitutes a hash of an IP address in place of the MAC (unavailable to Java).
`static java.util.UUID` `read(java.io.DataInput dis)` reads a uuid from an input stream.
`static void` `write(java.util.UUID uuid, java.io.DataOutput dos)` writes a uuid to an output stream.

Method Detail

### makeType1UUIDFromHost

    public static java.util.UUID makeType1UUIDFromHost(java.net.InetAddress addr)

  Creates a type 1 UUID (time-based UUID) that substitutes a hash of an IP address in place of the MAC (unavailable to Java).

  Parameters:
    `addr` - the host address to use
  Returns:
    a UUID instance

### getUUID

    public static java.util.UUID getUUID(java.nio.ByteBuffer raw)

  creates a type 1 uuid from raw bytes.

### read

    public static java.util.UUID read(java.io.DataInput dis)
                               throws java.io.IOException

  reads a uuid from an input stream.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### write

    public static void write(java.util.UUID uuid,
                             java.io.DataOutput dos)
                      throws java.io.IOException

  writes a uuid to an output stream.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### decompose

    public static byte[] decompose(java.util.UUID uuid)

  decomposes a uuid into raw bytes.

### getTimeUUIDBytes

    public static byte[] getTimeUUIDBytes()

  Returns a 16 byte representation of a type 1 UUID (a time-based UUID), based on the current system time.

  Returns:
    a type 1 UUID represented as a byte[]

### getTimeUUIDBytes

    public static byte[] getTimeUUIDBytes(long timeMillis)

  Converts a milliseconds-since-epoch timestamp into the 16 byte representation of a type 1 UUID (a time-based UUID).

  Warning: This method is not guaranteed to return unique UUIDs; Multiple invocations using identical timestamps will result in identical UUIDs.

  Parameters:
    `timeMillis` -
  Returns:
    a type 1 UUID represented as a byte[]

### getAdjustedTimestamp

    public static long getAdjustedTimestamp(java.util.UUID uuid)

  Returns a milliseconds-since-epoch value for a type-1 UUID.

  Parameters:
    `uuid` - a type-1 (time-based) UUID
  Returns:
    the number of milliseconds since the unix epoch
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the UUID is not version 1
