We decide to convert both UUID and InetAddress to String and store string in Spark until Databrix comes up with some good solution in the future Spark release 1.6+

UUID is stored as binary in spark sql, inetAddress is stored as host address string.
Since Databricks doesn't want to add UUIDType and InetAddressType, we need rollback them, and check the best way to handle it.
