Ekaterina Dimitrova commented on CASSANDRA-14752:
-------------------------------------------------

Thank you both, actually Benjamin made a pass and there was also another issue 
that the tests didn't catch but I got side-tracked and left to follow up on 
this when there is more time to work on it and not jumping in between other 
tasks as it is important to do it right. 

Quick suggestion - should we apply the 3.11 patch and fix the bug for our users 
and open follow up ticket if you think it is really worth it to pursue 
something more at this point? [~marcuse] , [~blerer] , [~benedict] , what do 
you think about that?

> serializers/BooleanSerializer.java is using static bytebuffers which may

>  It has two static Bytebuffer variables:-
> {code:java}
> private static final ByteBuffer TRUE = ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[]{1});
> private static final ByteBuffer FALSE = ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[]{0});{code}
> What will happen if the position of these Bytebuffers is being changed by 
> some other operations? It'll affect other subsequent operations. -IMO Using 
> static is not a good idea here.-
> A potential place where it can become problematic: 
> [https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.1.13/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/marshal/AbstractCompositeType.java#L243]
>  Since we are calling *`.remaining()`* It may give wrong results _i.e 0_ if 
> these Bytebuffers have been used previously.
> Solution: 
>  
> [https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/serializers/BooleanSerializer.java#L42]
>  Every time we return new bytebuffer object. Please do let me know If there 
> is a better way. I'd like to contribute. Thanks!!
> {code:java}
> public ByteBuffer serialize(Boolean value)
> {
> return (value == null) ? ByteBufferUtil.EMPTY_BYTE_BUFFER
> : value ? ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[] {1}) : ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[] {0}); 
> // false
> }
> {code}
