----------------------------------------
Summary: Protocol level heartbeat
Key: CASSANDRA-12687
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12687
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Andy Tolbert
Most of the datastax drivers use the {{OPTIONS}} message as a means of doing a
protocol level heartbeat, to which the server responds with a {{SUPPORTED}}
message (see: http://datastax.github.io/java-driver/manual/pooling/#heartbeat).
It would be great if there was a simple {{HEARTBEAT}} message type that could
be sent in either direction to indicate that the other side of a connection is
still responding at a protocol level.
