--- Comment #1 from Javen O'Neal <on...@apache.org> ---
This change was intentional to unify XSSF and HSSF while avoiding overflow bugs
due to lack of unsigned datatypes. As this is a better nd not a setter, there
was no way for us to make this change gradually without breaking binary
compatibility.

This doesn't break source compatibility since shorts can be implicitly cast to
ints.

You unfortunately may need to recompile your project.
