Hangjun Ye commented on ZOOKEEPER-1366: --------------------------------------- Not committed yet? > Zookeeper should be tolerant of clock adjustments > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-1366 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1366 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ted Dunning > Assignee: Ted Dunning > Fix For: 3.5.0 > > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-1366-3.3.3.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1366.patch, > ZOOKEEPER-1366.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1366.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1366.patch, > ZOOKEEPER-1366.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1366.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1366.patch > > > If you want to wreak havoc on a ZK based system just do [date -s "+1hour"] > and watch the mayhem as all sessions expire at once. > This shouldn't happen. Zookeeper could easily know handle elapsed times as > elapsed times rather than as differences between absolute times. The > absolute times are subject to adjustment when the clock is set while a timer > is not subject to this problem. In Java, System.currentTimeMillis() gives > you absolute time while System.nanoTime() gives you time based on a timer > from an arbitrary epoch. > I have done this and have been running tests now for some tens of minutes > with no failures. I will set up a test machine to redo the build again on > Ubuntu and post a patch here for discussion. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
