George commented on CASSANDRA-3858:
-----------------------------------

I'm surprised there's not great interest for such a feature. Propagation delays 
must be a valid concern. What am I missing?

> expose "propagation delay" metric in JMX

> My idea is to augment the gossip protocol to contain timestamps. We wouldn't 
> use the timestamps for anything "important", but we could use them to allow 
> each node to expose a number which is the number of milliseconds (or seconds) 
> "old" information is about nodes that are "the oldest" and also alive.
> When nodes go down you'd see spikes, but for most cases where nodes live, 
> this information should give you a pretty good idea of how fast gossip 
> information is propagating through the cluster, assuming you keep your clocks 
> in synch.
> It should be a good thing to have graphed, and to have alerts on.
