Django / Cassandra: can not createsuperuser

I am running Debian server with Django and Cassandra. I am not able to create the admin user via command:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Running the command causes an error:

cassandra.protocol.SyntaxException: <Error from server: code=2000 [Syntax error in CQL query] message="line 1:260 no viable           alternative at input '.' (...auth_user.date_joined FROM auth_user WHERE [auth_user]....)">

The synchronization works fine – the keyspace and tables were created according to model.

Question

How can I get rid of this error and make the command work?
