It would be an immutable value. > Nowadays (on 4.3.1) I must keep that info together with the id of the ledger, > for instance in zookeeper, but if that reference gets lost there is now way > to know how old a ledger is. > I think that this timestamp should be captured on client while calling > createLedger or asyncCreateLedger. > In addition to this very common field maybe it would be useful to add a > custom byte[] field named "custom client data" in order to let the client > 'describe' the ledger without the need of extra data on Zookeeper. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
