Jorge Bay updated CASSANDRA-13527:
----------------------------------
Labels: client-impacting (was: )
> 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
> Labels: client-impacting
>
> 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.
