Description

Currently, `apache_avro::encode::encode()` fails to encode a Value::String as UUID. This failure can be reproduced using the following minimal test-case:

 

    #[test]
    fn test_encode_uuid() {
        let value = Value::String(String::from("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"));
        let schema = Schema::Uuid;
        let mut buffer = Vec::new();
        let encoded = encode(&value, &schema, &mut buffer);
        assert!(encoded.is_ok());
    } 

 

 

I believe it should be possible to encode UUIDs in this manner, and support can be trivially added by extending the match statement in `apache_avro::encode::encode_internal`.
