I am not very clear how this can get the uuid for corresponding originator's uuid. Is it because the way we generate server_id (take some portion of uuid), that it can be used to call this api to get its uuid?

nuraft::raft_server::get_config()->get_server(...) which is used to implement id_to_str gets the pair which is srv_id, endpoint. Endpoint is an opaque string to nuraft, but we store the string version of the uuid; so we just need to convert it back to boost::uuid here.

The id_to_str() method [defined here https://github.com/eBay/nuraft_mesg/blob/main/src/lib/repl_service_ctx.cpp#L15] returns the std::string form of the uuid from the endpoint field
