Dmitriy Kuharev commented on HBASE-21774:
-----------------------------------------
I think the test failure in the last report could be ignored - it is a timeout.
And I did not change the logic in the last patch - just changed the order of
import statements.
> do not use currentTimeMillis to measure intervals

> I've noticed it in a few places in the code...
> currentMillis can go backwards and have other artifacts.
> nanoTime should be used for intervals (see
> [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#nanoTime()|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#nanoTime()]
> ) unless it's both the case that the calls are frequent and nanoTime will
> result in perf overhead, and also that artifacts from negative intervals and
> such are relatively harmless or possible to work around in the code.
