Christoph Hack commented on CASSANDRA-4737:
-------------------------------------------

Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately, the specification is still wrong in my opinion:

[short]        A 2 bytes unsigned integer
[short bytes]  A [short] n, followed by n bytes if n >= 0. If n < 0, no byte should follow and the value represented is `null`.

I'm not entirely sure how I should represent those n<0 using an unsigned integer.

> CASSANDRA-4449 seems to have changed the datatype of the query id returned by a RESULT-PREPARED message from an {{int}} to a {{short}} n followed by n bytes (representing a md5sum). The specification at doc/native_protocol.txt doesn't cover this change yet.
