Description

Binary protocol uses a short value so this places a limit of 16K on the number of bound variable, would be nice to see an InvalidException at prepared time if statement contains more markers than supported (thank you to pcmanus pointing this out on IRC channel).

Currently, no error is given until you try to execute the query and get the following (which is misleading because the bound # is much smaller than the limit):

com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.InvalidQueryException: there were 135000 markers in CQL but 3928 bound variables
