Flavio Junqueira commented on ZOOKEEPER-1366:
---------------------------------------------
This is a pretty long jira, and it is unfortunate that it has been cooking for
so long. Perhaps someone else could pick it up and finish the patch, since Ted
is already burned out (understandably)?
> Zookeeper should be tolerant of clock adjustments

> If you want to wreak havoc on a ZK based system just do [date -s "+1hour"]
> and watch the mayhem as all sessions expire at once.
> This shouldn't happen. Zookeeper could easily know handle elapsed times as
> elapsed times rather than as differences between absolute times. The
> absolute times are subject to adjustment when the clock is set while a timer
> is not subject to this problem. In Java, System.currentTimeMillis() gives
> you absolute time while System.nanoTime() gives you time based on a timer
> from an arbitrary epoch.
> I have done this and have been running tests now for some tens of minutes
> with no failures. I will set up a test machine to redo the build again on
> Ubuntu and post a patch here for discussion.
