I have below code added while using hibernate search 5 .
Now in hibernate search `org.hibernate.annotations.Type' is deprecated`
```auto
@Id
@Column(name = Team.ID_COL, length = 36)
@Type(type = "uuid-char")
@ApiModelProperty(hidden = true)
private UUID teamId;
```
What would be the equivalent for type annotation in hibernate search 6?? In my case what is the replacement for `@Type(type = "uuid-char")` ?

This is not a Hibernate Search annotation, but a Hibernate ORM annotation.
Moving this topic to the appropriate category.

The replacement in Hibernate ORM 6 is to use the `@JdbcTypeCode` annotation:
```java
@Id
@Column(name = Team.ID_COL)
@JdbcTypeCode(java.sql.Types.VARCHAR)
@ApiModelProperty(hidden = true)
private UUID teamId;
```

Hi @beikov - I am using `hibernate 5.6.0.Final` jar in our project and we don’t see this `@JdbcTypeCode` annotation there

So why are you asking for the replacement in Hibernate 6 then? You should update to 5.6.6.Final which will un-deprecate the `@Type` annotation. In 6.0 the annotation was changed to only accept `UserType` class literals.

Not sure what this question has to do with Hibernate Search 6 since this is an annotation from Hibernate ORM, but like I wrote, the deprecation was removed in newer versions of Hibernate ORM 5.6

Sorry It was my confusion . Initially I though this annotation is from Hibernate Search 6.
After upgrading to 5.6.6 type annotation got un-deprecated. I hope with 5.6.6 there should not be any impact on hibernate search 6.0
