> Issue when modifying UDT

>          Components: Core

> I'm trying out the user defined types but ran into some issues when adding a 
> column to an existing type.
> Unfortunately I had to scrap the entire cluster so I cannot access it any 
> more.
> After creating the UDT i adde two tables using it. 1 was just using 
> frozen<type>. The other was using both frozen<type> frozen map<String, type>.
> Then I realized I needed to add a new field to the user type. Then when I 
> tried to put to any of the two tables (setting all fields to the UDT in the 
> datastax java driver) I got this error message that I could not find anywhere 
> else but in the cassandra code:
> com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.InvalidQueryException: Invalid remaining 
> data after end of UDT value
> I had to scrap my keyspace in order to be able to use it again. Could not 
> even drop one of the tables.
> I know that they are frozen so we cannot modify the value of individual 
> fields once they are written but we must be able to modify the schema right?
