Each of those fields is a versioned application state (except generation and heartbeat). The version applies to the application state, it's different than the Cassandra version.
Each line (DC, RACK, RELEASE_VERSION, etc) will be: Name:Version:Value If you see 2.1.11 and version 7, then the running instance has set/changed that field 7 times since it started (probably as the other instance either restarted or broadcast new info / reconnected / etc). You probably see NET_VERSION and HOST_ID having very low versions. You probably see LOAD having a very high version (it's updated often).
