Hello everyone, We are looking into a possibility of using Cassandra in our research on hybrid logical and vector clocks (some information on hybrid clocks: https://www.cse.buffalo.edu/tech-reports/2014-04.pdf and https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/hotcloud15/hotcloud15-demirbas.pdf) In order for us to determine the possibility of using Cassandra in our research project, we would like to learn more about the time and clocks used in Cassandra. In particular, we would be very grateful on some hints about how and when system time and timestamps are used in the database. How important is time synchronization between nodes? We would also like to know whether tradition logical or vector clocks are used throughout the project.
Thanks for any advice, Aleksey Charapko.
