{quote}Clients must simply not submit mutations that must be committed with
guaranteed distinct timestamps in the same batch. Easy to understand, easy to
document, and it aligns with our design philosophy of the client knows best.

[~gjacoby] [~kadir] [~larsh] I assume this will be fine for Phoenix but let me
know if there is a complication that will make this difficult.
The rule will be: Every mutation request submitting a call with a wildcard
timestamp (Long.MAX) will get a guaranteed distinct timestamp on the server
side. Clients must submit values that require guaranteed distinct timestamps in
separate requests to ensure this invariant. (A batch mutation will be
considered one request, therefore each cell within the batch with a wildcard
timestamp will have the same value substituted for same.)

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Andrew Kyle Purtell
> Assignee: Andrew Kyle Purtell
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.0-alpha-1, 2.5.0

>
> Introduce new {{EnvironmentEdge#currentTimeAdvancing}} which ensures that
> when the current time is returned, it is the current time in a different
> clock tick from the last time the {{EnvironmentEdge}} was used to get the
> current time.
> When processing mutations we substitute the {{Long.MAX_VALUE}} timestamp
> placeholder with a real placeholder just before committing the mutation. The
> current code gets the current time for timestamp substitution while under row
> lock and mvcc. We will simply use {{EnvironmentEdge#currentTimeAdvancing}}
> instead of {{EnvironmentEdge#currentTime}} at this point in the code to
> ensure we have seen the clock tick over. When processing a batch of mutations
> (doMiniBatchMutation etc) we will call {{currentTimeAdvancing}} only once.
> This means the client cannot bundle cells with wildcard timestamps into a
> batch where those cells must be committed with different timestamps. Clients
> must simply not submit mutations that must be committed with guaranteed
> distinct timestamps in the same batch. Easy to understand, easy to document,
> and it aligns with our design philosophy of the client knows best.
> It is not required to handle batches as proposed. We could guarantee a
> distinct timestamp for every mutation in a batch. Count the number of
> mutations, call this M. Acquire all row locks and get the current time. Then,
> wait for at least M milliseconds. Then, set the first mutation timestamp with
> this value and increment by 1 for all remaining. Then, do the rest of
> mutation processing as normal. I don't think this extra waiting to reserve
> the range of timestamps is necessary. See reasoning in above paragraph.
> Mentioned here for sake of discussion.
> It will be fine to continue to use {{EnvironmentEdge#currentTime}} everywhere
> else. In this way we will only potentially spin wait where it matters, and
> won't suffer serious overheads during batch processing.
