> Key: KUDU-2859
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2859
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: server
> Reporter: Grant Henke
> Priority: Major
> Labels: docker
> Fix For: NA
>
>
> Requiring ntpd or chrony to be setup correctly and configured correctly makes
> deployments more complicated.
>
> We should include our own built-in stripped-down implementation of NTP
> without any reliance on kernel features. This should hopefully make it easier
> for users to configure NTP even if they don't have root, and also can
> maintain better clock error than the system implementation, since we can
> prioritize low error bounds rather than low jitter.
>
> Additionally this simplifies docker deployments by not requiring CAP_SYS_TIME
> or privileged containers and ensuring host machines have ntpd setup correctly.
