[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-14070) Hybrid Logical Clocks for HBase

["churro morales (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

churro morales commented on HBASE-14070:
----------------------------------------

this is so close to being done.  So many hbase issues can be resolved with this feature.  I would like to try and finish this but I don't want to step on anybody's toes since [~saitejar] is so far along with this patch :).  Are you planning on completing the last few open issues?

If there is nobody working on this, I would love to try and get this in to HBase 2.x because it could solve so many of our issues.

> HBase and Phoenix uses systems physical clock (PT) to give timestamps to events (read and writes). This works mostly when the system clock is strictly monotonically increasing and there is no cross-dependency between servers clocks. However we know that leap seconds, general clock skew and clock drift are in fact real. 
> This jira proposes using Hybrid Logical Clocks (HLC) as an implementation of hybrid physical clock + a logical clock. HLC is best of both worlds where it keeps causality relationship similar to logical clocks, but still is compatible with NTP based physical system clock. HLC can be represented in 64bits.
