> In a handful of places a long is read from a byte array using bit-wise operators assuming BigEndian, which is hard to read. In addition there are some unnecessary casts when using this method. Although  all casts were kept in PR #[11440|[https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/11440]] that was only for consistency so one wouldn't have to wonder why some lines of casts and others do not, but ideally unnecessary ones should not be included. 
> There are other alternative using the the Java API e.g. java.nio.ByteBuffer (which uses by default BigEndian) or java.lang.invoke.VarHandle.
> This ticket aims to replace the bit-wise operators approach with the use of one of the Java alternatives.
