Add a `uuid` field type
Author: tezlmCreated Jan 26, 2026Updated Jul 2, 2026
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm using uuids as ids in my application, but tantivy doesn't support uuid fields!
Describe the solution you'd like Add uuids as a field type.
[Optional] describe alternatives you've considered
add_bytes: works, but is a bit unergonomic and might take up more space than if there was just a uuid(?) (unsure if this is true, haven't looked too deeply into tantivy's internals)- two
add_u64s: even more unergonomic
