Christopher Smith created CASSANDRA-6106:
--------------------------------------------

             Summary: QueryState.getTimestamp() & FBUtilities.timestampMicros() 
reads current timestamp with System.currentTimeMillis() * 1000 instead of 
System.nanoTime() / 1000
                 Key: CASSANDRA-6106
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6106
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
         Environment: DSE Cassandra 3.1, but also HEAD
            Reporter: Christopher Smith
            Priority: Minor


I noticed this blog post: http://aphyr.com/posts/294-call-me-maybe-cassandra 
mentioned issues with millisecond rounding in timestamps and was able to 
reproduce the issue. If I specify a timestamp in a mutating query, I get 
microsecond precision, but if I don't, I get timestamps rounded to the nearest 
millisecond, at least for my first query on a given connection, which 
substantially increases the possibilities of collision.

I believe I found the offending code, though I am by no means sure this is 
comprehensive. I think we probably need a fairly comprehensive replacement of 
all uses of System.currentTimeMillis() with System.nanoTime().
