Jorge Bay created CASSANDRA-13527:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Protocol [short] is used as unsigned and signed value
Key: CASSANDRA-13527
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13527
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jorge Bay
The protocol specification describes {{\[short\]}} as unsigned int16, but then
on the section {{2.3. stream}} it describes it like a signed int16, being
{{0x7fff}} the maximum positive value.
Additionally, {{\[int\]}} and {{\[long\]}} are signed, making the identifier
{{\[short\]}} somewhat confusing.
For disambiguation, it would be nice to introduce {{\[ushort\]}} or
{{\[unsigned short\]}} (replacing most entries) and leave {{\[short\]}} as
signed value, mainly for stream ids.
