cassandra udt: when adding a new field into udt type, columns only shows old udt type data

Question

I have created a udt type in cassandra. --> member(name text).

Then I create a table "users" and one of columns "members" is list>.

I add an another field age into type user So now is member(name text, age int).

I insert data [{name: 'james', age: 1}] into table "users". But it only shows [{name:'james'}] when I do a query. I have run DESC KEYSPACE, and the type is exactly as member(name text, age int). Any suggestions?

PS: my cassandra version is 2.1.3

This is a known bug (CASSANDRA-9188). You need to restart your cqlsh session to make it use the latest type definition.
