Enrico Olivelli commented on BOOKKEEPER-879: -------------------------------------------- I'm sorry, what do you mean with "Optional<Long>" ? do you mean an overloaded method which does not take that argument ? I cannot find any usage of an "Optional" class in bookkeeper code > Record ledger creation time > --------------------------- > > Key: BOOKKEEPER-879 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-879 > Project: Bookkeeper > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: bookkeeper-client, bookkeeper-server > Affects Versions: 4.3.1 > Reporter: Enrico Olivelli > Fix For: 4.4.0 > > > I think that a creation timestamp would be very useful and it does not cost > very much. 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)
