Hi ,

I am using Cassandra 3.0.4
I am using a Table called User which has a column last_login with Map datatype .

I dropped the column using the  syntax Alter Table User Drop last_login;

I dropped the column from table and recreated it with a nested datatype 
last_login map<varchar,frozen<tuple<timestamp,inet>>>
But then I got an below error

InvalidRequest: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="Cannot add a collection with
the name last_login because a collection with the same name and a different type
(map<text, timestamp>) has already been used in the past"

Does it mean Cassandra does not allow adding of the same column in the Table 
even though it does not exists in the Table

Thanks and regards,
