Stephan Ewen created FLINK-4421: ----------------------------------- Summary: Make clocks and time measurements monotonous Key: FLINK-4421 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4421 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Core Reporter: Stephan Ewen Priority: Minor
Currently, many places use {{System.currentTimeMillis()}} to acquire timestamps or measure time intervals. Since this relies on the system clock, and the system clock is not necessarily monotonous (in the presence of clock updates), this can lead to negative duration and decreasing timestamps where increasing timestamps are expected. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
