      Use Case

      As a nodejs user
      I want a library that does not call synchronous versions of asynchronous APIs
      So that there is no risk of the event loop blocking other incoming events.

      Driver obtains a uuidv4 synchronously, it should use the async version of randomBytes. The function call has the potential to block the entire runtime.

      We should update session, auth, and uuid randomValue implementations.
