Ability to use GUID field as a partition field for online archive

Hi, Today there is no way to partition the archive data based on a field that is of type GUID (legacy GUID). For example, I tried selecting a field which had `Binary('0TfYLb3Qg0WT2mZu0wbq8Q==', 3)` as the value but I got an error saying that the field is not supported to be a partition field. It makes sense to do this because archived data is usually old and at that time most people were using legacy guids as opposed to object ids.
