Atlas SQL Interface: Support queries based on BinData (UUID)

We have a need to write reports that query MongoDB via the Atlas SQL Interface using BinData (a UUID with BinData type 4) as selection criteria (see support ticket Case 01313460: Query bindata using atlas sql interface). We were told that this is currently not supported, although querying data based on a unique identifier is a most basic and essential function as far as DB interfaces are concerned. Example query from ticket: SELECT * FROM bn_events WHERE _id = CAST('6b0be834-c03e-47bc-9c7d-4726a1e8c69a' AS BINDATA) This is a serious limitation that may prevent us from being able to use Atlas SQL Interface for our reporting needs.
