Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-8951:
----------------------------------------------
bq. I found that implementing them non-emptiable while everything else is
emptiable is too confusing in my opinion.
The new date/time types are non-emptiable. It's probably more consistent to do
that with all new types, than mix and match.
> 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.
