> For some reason most of the Hadoop code (ColumnFamilyRecordReader, CqlStorage, ...) uses the {{Cell}} and {{CellName}} classes. That dependency is entirely artificial: all this code is really client code that communicate with Cassandra over thrift/native protocol and there is thus no reason for it to use internal classes. And in fact, thoses classes are used in a very crude way, as a {{Pair<ByteBuffer, ByteBuffer>}} really.
> But this dependency is really painful when we make changes to the internals. Further, every time we do so, I believe we break some of those the APIs due to the change. This has been painful for CASSANDRA-5417 and this is now painful for CASSANDRA-8099. But while I somewhat hack over it in CASSANDRA-5417, this was a mistake and we should have removed the depency back then. So let do that now.
