-----------------------------------

             Summary: DataTransferThrottler will over-throttle when currentTimeMillis jumps
                 Key: HDFS-3485
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3485
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
            Reporter: Andy Isaacson
            Assignee: Andy Isaacson
            Priority: Minor


When the system clock is set backwards, DataTransferThrottler will simply pause until the clock reaches the end of the previously calculated transfer period:
{code}
    this.curPeriodStart = System.currentTimeMillis();
...
    while (curReserve <= 0) {
      long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
      long curPeriodEnd = curPeriodStart + period;
      if ( now < curPeriodEnd ) {
        try {
          wait( curPeriodEnd - now );
{code}

Instead of using currentTimeMillis() which is affected by system-clock-changes, this code should use nanoTime which ticks forward monotonically.
