Hi [~taejin] , usually we only apply bug fixes to the 5.0.x branch. We can 
consider some simple, minor improvements if they are safe and provide 
significant value.

Do you have any end-to-end test results or profiles showing that backporting 
these minor changes makes a visible difference for a real-world workload? (from 
throughput/latency point of view)

> *description* 
> When deserializing clusterings and range/slice bounds, the kind is resolved 
> via Kind.values()[in.readByte()]:                
>  -  ClusteringPrefix.java:616 — ClusteringPrefix.Deserializer (streaming 
> path) //  5.0.7
>       
> Enum.values() creates a new copy of its array every time it is called. So 
> each time we read a clustering or a bound, a new Kind[] array is created just 
> to look up one value by index, and then thrown away. This runs on the hot  
> deserialization path, so it creates a lot of short-lived garbage for no real 
> benefit.
>     
> Impact (measured, JFR allocation profiling on a read/Paxos-LWT-heavy 
> workload):           
>   - Total heap allocation observed: ~170 GB (120s)
>   - ClusteringPrefix$Kind[]: ~5.22 GB (≈3.1%) of that total 
> This garbage is short-lived, so GC pause impact under a modern collector is 
> minimal and CPU cost is negligible; this is purely an allocation-pressure / 
> GC-throughput improvement.                                                    
>
