When I did nodetool gossipinfo on one of the nodes on cassandra server, I got the following output,
/192.168.0.36
generation:1504926520
heartbeat:2147483647
DC:datacenter1
STATUS:shutdown,true
SEVERITY:0.0

The gossip protocol on the cluster is not working properly and a lot of nodes are shown as DN. I'm trying to make sense of heartbeat, which is 2147483647 (in future). Is this the cause of the failure of gossip protocol.
Thank you
