------------------------------------------
Summary: Cleanup of generics in bounds serialization
Key: CASSANDRA-8375
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8375
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Branimir Lambov
Priority: Trivial
There is currently a single serializer for {{AbstractBounds}} applied to both
{{Token}} and {{RowPosition}} ranges and bounds. This serializer does not know
which kind of bounds it needs to work with, which causes some necessarily
unsafe conversions and needs extra code in all bounds types
({{toRowBounds}}/{{toTokenBounds}}) to make the conversions safe, the
application of which can be easily forgotten.
As all users of this serialization know in advance the kind of range they want
to serialize, this can be replaced by simpler type-specific serialization.
