             Summary: Investigate how mesos behaves when time goes backwards.
                 Key: MESOS-452
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-452
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Benjamin Mahler


I don't think we correctly handle the system time going backwards, from say, an NTP process correcting the system clock.

We should ultimately be using a CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock to schedule delayed events in the system, and for computing things like uptime.

I've seen cases where the slave reports a negative uptime in the state.json endpoint, typically revolving around an NTP process not running on the slave.
