Rick Branson commented on CASSANDRA-6106: ----------------------------------------- Yeah you're right. The thread will probably occasionally get interrupted by the kernel between the currentTimeMillis() and the nanoTime() call. It'd probably take a bunch of iterations to properly "calibrate" the base clock. This is getting pretty far into the extremely-fragile territory. > QueryState.getTimestamp() & FBUtilities.timestampMicros() reads current > timestamp with System.currentTimeMillis() * 1000 instead of System.nanoTime() > / 1000 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-6106 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6106 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Environment: DSE Cassandra 3.1, but also HEAD > Reporter: Christopher Smith > Priority: Minor > Labels: collision, conflict, timestamp > Attachments: microtimstamp.patch > > > I noticed this blog post: http://aphyr.com/posts/294-call-me-maybe-cassandra > mentioned issues with millisecond rounding in timestamps and was able to > reproduce the issue. If I specify a timestamp in a mutating query, I get > microsecond precision, but if I don't, I get timestamps rounded to the > nearest millisecond, at least for my first query on a given connection, which > substantially increases the possibilities of collision. > I believe I found the offending code, though I am by no means sure this is > comprehensive. I think we probably need a fairly comprehensive replacement of > all uses of System.currentTimeMillis() with System.nanoTime(). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
