/**
* The clustering column values for a row.
*
* A {@code Clustering} is a {@code ClusteringPrefix} that must always be "complete", i.e. have
* as many values as there is clustering columns in the table it is part of. It is the clustering
* prefix used by rows.
*
* Note however that while it's size must be equal to the table clustering size, a clustering can have
* {@code null} values, and this mostly for thrift backward compatibility (in practice, if a value is null,
* all of the following ones will be too because that's what thrift allows, but it's never assumed by the
* code so we could start generally allowing nulls for clustering columns if we wanted to).
