> In a handful of places a long is read from a byte array using bit-wise operators which is hard to read. In addition there are some unnecessary casts when using this method. Athough  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.  Since Java 9, there is an alternative using java.lang.invoke.VarHandle which is a fast and convenient way to load multiple bytes from from a byte array into a long variable.
