That definitely shouldn’t be true. Querying a 3.x node will internally query
the 2.1 nodes and translate it. The 3.0 node will talk to the 2.1 instances
using the 2.1 internode messaging protocol.

You could try turning off native protocol on the upgraded hosts until you had
enough to serve the load, then switch on native on the 3.0 hosts, let
connections move, and then native off for 2.1
Alternatively, depending on your driver (and it’s discovery mechanism), you may
be able to start some instances that only listen on the v3 protocol without
owning any data (-Dcassandra.join_ring=false) and let clients connect there -
then bounce through the cluster as needed.
