Summary: Harry: refactor usage of primitive long to use
specialized types
Key: CASSANDRA-17358
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17358
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Abe Ratnofsky
>From this PR discussion:

Currently, Harry uses primitive long types extensively (logical timestamps,
operation IDs, partition descriptors, clustering descriptors, etc). These are
allocated on the stack so they are performant, but they are not type-safe.
There's nothing preventing an accident like trying to inflate a clustering
descriptor where a partition descriptor is expected.
To get around this, we could migrate these types to be non-primitive, with a
negative impact on performance. When Value Objects arrive (with JEP 169), there
may be new possibilities with different trade-offs.
