> There's a race condition around pulling schema changes, that can occur in case the schema changes push/propagation mechanism is not immediately effective (e.g. because of network delay, or because of the pulling node being down, etc.).
> If schema changes happen on node 1, these changes do not reach node 2 immediately through the SCHEMA.PUSH mechanism, and are first recognized during gossiping, the corresponding SCHEMA.PULL request from node 2 can catch the node 1 schema in the middle of it being modified by another schema change request. This can easily lead to problems (e.g. if a new table is being added, and the node 2 request reads the changes that need to be applied to  system_schema.tables, but not the ones that need to be applied to system_schema.columns).
> This PR addresses that by synchronizing the SCHEMA.PULL "RPC call" executed in node 1 by a request from node 2 with the method for applying schema changes in node 1.
