Caleb Rackliffe commented on CASSANDRA-15393:
---------------------------------------------

bq. I'd prefer that we keep the type/serializers consistent wrt type. In other 
words, I'd prefer some methods "unneccesarily" switch to using an accessor than 
having some parts of a class use accessors and other parts use byte buffers 
directly

I'm not sure. There is a clear penalty in terms of readability in places like 
{{CompositeType#decompose()}}, and the main/public version of 
{{AbstractType#decompose()}} already explicitly _does_ return a {{ByteBuffer}}. 
This is also a case where remaining explicit reduces the sheer size of the 
patch.

> We currently materialize all values as on heap byte buffers. Byte buffers 
> have a fairly high overhead given how frequently they’re used, and on the 
> compaction and local read path we don’t do anything that needs them. Use of 
> byte buffer methods only happens on the coordinator. Using cells that are 
> backed by byte arrays instead in these situations reduces compaction and read 
> garbage up to 22% in many cases.
