Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-8951:
---------------------------------------------
bq. Would it make sense to at least make them non-emptiable?
That's trivial to do and it's not very risky either since if we find a case
where that's problematic, we can always change our minds and allow it. The only
downside is the lack of consistency with the rest of the types (so I'd have
preferred a more general solution to this problem), but again, happy to start
with non-emptiable and reconsider if this confuse too many people.
> Add smallint (and possibly byte) type

> We have {{int}} and {{bigint}}, but we don't have a {{smallint}} (2 bytes). I
> see no reason not to add it. And while we're at it, it doesn't cost much to
> add a {{byte}} type either.
