If you ensure (using NTP) that all your servers have the same time then you can simply query your local server for the time and you have the correct answer to your question. You are searching for a solution in the Hadoop API (where this does not exist) when the solution is present at a different level. -- Best regards / Met vriendelijke groeten, Niels Basjes
