Description

The UUIDs generated (type 3) are not fully compliant to the RFC.

For instance:

9adabada-3b4b-32eb-fd7e-c41191eefa2a 
642ff728-2fb3-3e6b-f48f-0cfb94b772e2 

generated by NiFi as id for components are based on type 3. For type 3, 4, and 5, the UUID variant has to be one of (8, 9, a, b)

Example A:

9adabada-3b4b-*3*2eb-*f*d7e-c41191eefa2a
This is a uuid v3, and variant character is f, and f is not a valid uuid variant (just 8, 9, a and b are valid). NOT VALID
