Actually restart of a node fixed problem on that node. Is there any cache flush
that I need to achieve same results without restart?
PS> nodetool repair system and nodetool flush system didn't help

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug

> I've been many times in Cassandra 2.0.6 that adding columns to existing
> tables seems to not fully propagate to our entire cluster. We add an extra
> column to various tables maybe 0-2 times a week, and so far many of these
> ALTERs have resulted in at least one node showing the old table description a
> pretty long time (~30 mins) after the original ALTER command was issued.
> We originally identified this issue when a connected clients would complain
> that a column it issued a SELECT for wasn't a known column, at which point we
> have to ask each node to describe the most recently altered table. One of
> them will not know about the newly added field. Issuing the original ALTER
> statement on that node makes everything work correctly.
> We have seen this issue on multiple tables (we don't always alter the same
> one). It has affected various nodes in the cluster (not always the same one
> is not getting the mutation propagated). No new nodes have been added to the
> cluster recently. All nodes are homogenous (hardware and software), running
> 2.0.6. We don't see any particular errors or exceptions on the node that
> didn't get the schema update, only the later error from a Java client about
> asking for an unknown column in a SELECT. We have to check each node manually
> to find the offender. The tables he have seen this on are under fairly heavy
> read and write load, but we haven't altered any tables that are not, so that
> might not be important.
