Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-8305:
---------------------------------------------
Well, it's a sanity check, if it's going to be wrong it's going to be *really*
wrong, like CASSANDRA-8296 :)
> add check of the system wall clock time at startup

> Related to CASSANDRA-8296, we should add a check of the system wall clock at
> startup to make sure it 'looks' reasonable. This check will prevent a node
> from starting with a bad generation in it's gossip metadata (and causing many
> problems downstream of that).
> Note that this is intended as a simple check of the clock at startup and not
> a comprehensive, ongoing check of clocks during the running of the process.
