Cannot use tinyint data type

[ivokund]

I have a column of type tinyint, I'd like to use. However when I do a prepared insert using the PhpInt type, I get an error from Cassandra:

Invalid: Expected 1 byte for a tinyint (4)

There doesn't seem to be a TinyInt type, so is there a correct way of doing this or am I missing something?

Thanks!
