Benjamin Lerer commented on CASSANDRA-8951:
-------------------------------------------
I updated the patches:
The cassandra patch is here: cassandra patch
The python driver patch is here: python patch
I renamed Byte to Tinyint and made sure that the 2 types are non-emptiable.
The patch of CASSANDRA-9219 has already ensure that the new types should also
be sent as CUSTOM to drivers connecting via native protocol 3 and below
> 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.
