go data types uint8 and uint16 is not supported on "go.uber.org/atomic"

we required these datatypes supported on atomic for optimal memory and performance

Hello, @sureshbabuveggalam. We can add atomic wrappers for uint8 and uint16 to the library, but because the minimum width supported by the underlying operations is 32 bits, these will end up being uint32 internally (e.g. atomic.Bool is a wrapper around int32) and undo the memory/performance use you were getting out of them.
