[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-6106) QueryState.getTimestamp() & FBUtilities.timestampMicros() reads current timestamp with System.currentTimeMillis() * 1000 instead of System.nanoTime() / 1000

Christopher Smith commented on CASSANDRA-6106:
----------------------------------------------

So, looking at JNA, it seems like shared memory/NIO buffer logic could be done with it as much as it could be done with JNI. Is it possible what I'm talking about could be done through JNA as much as with JNI?

> I noticed this blog post: http://aphyr.com/posts/294-call-me-maybe-cassandra mentioned issues with millisecond rounding in timestamps and was able to reproduce the issue. If I specify a timestamp in a mutating query, I get microsecond precision, but if I don't, I get timestamps rounded to the nearest millisecond, at least for my first query on a given connection, which substantially increases the possibilities of collision.
> I believe I found the offending code, though I am by no means sure this is comprehensive. I think we probably need a fairly comprehensive replacement of all uses of System.currentTimeMillis() with System.nanoTime().
