[jira] [Commented] (TS-2079) Replace ink_cluster_time() with just "localtime"

["Leif Hedstrom (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2079?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13722055#comment-13722055 ] 

Leif Hedstrom commented on TS-2079:
-----------------------------------

Doing this eliminates a bunch of code where we calculate this drifted clock, and well as having to assign intermediary values where we could otherwise just use fixed times (such as negative cache liftime).

> I think this shared "adjustment" of a time concept across a cluster is generally pointless these days. What it does it to take a negative approach, and use the largest skew as an offset on each box. This is to e.g. allow for cluster cache object to live at a duration based on the fastest clock.
> It's possible this was a useful feature in the past, but honestly, with NTP being ubiquitous, I think we should just assume that the clocks are within reasonable skew inside the cluster.
