Description

Altering the type of a clustering key column causes TSocket error.

To reproduce the problem:
1. CREATE SCHEMA "Excalibur" WITH REPLICATION =

{ 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : 3 }

;

2. CREATE TABLE "Excalibur".Test ( id int, species text, color text, PRIMARY KEY ((id, species), color)) WITH compaction =

{ 'class' : 'SizeTieredCompactionStrategy', 'min_compaction_threshold' : 6 }

;

3. Alter table "Excalibur".test ALTER color type int;

Expected result: Error message saying something like, "Changing the type of a clustering key is not allowed."

Actual result: TSocket read 0 bytes
