[jira] [Created] (LOG4J2-982) Use System.nanoTime() to measure time intervals

Mikhail Mazurskiy created LOG4J2-982:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Use System.nanoTime() to measure time intervals
                 Key: LOG4J2-982
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-982
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core, Flume Appender
            Reporter: Mikhail Mazurskiy
            Priority: Minor


Unlike {{System.currentTimeMillis()}}, which can jump/slew forward and backwards, {{System.nanoTime()}} is a monotonic clock (at least it should be) and hence it should be used to measure time intervals (timeouts/delays/etc).
