Paulo Motta commented on CASSANDRA-17180:
-----------------------------------------

{quote}Can we just use File.setLastModified and File.lastModified to read/write 
the heartbeat instead?
{quote}
alternatively we can just write a JSON similar to the snapshot manifest, since 
we can use existing JSON utilities to read/write the hearbeat file without 
needing to implement a custom parser. something like this:
{noformat}
{"last_heartbeat": "2022-04-22T13:33:41Z"}
{noformat}
we could later augment this json with more info if the need arises.

WDYT?

> As already discussed on ML, it would be nice to have a service which would 
> periodically write timestamp to a file signalling it is up / running.
> Then, on the startup, we would read this file and we would determine if there 
> is some table which gc grace is behind this time and we would fail the start 
> so we would prevent zombie data to be likely spread around a cluster.
