Jim Kellerman commented on HBASE-711:
-------------------------------------

Noting the clock skew won't work because HRegionInfo constructor uses clock 
time to set the region name.

However, do we really need to disambiguate region names with the clock time?
Since region name = table name + start key + end key, can it ever be the case 
that you would have two regions with the same name?

> Complain if clock skew across the cluster is badly out of sync

> hbase-710 and hbase-609 are issues where the system has broken in presence of 
> clock skew over the cluster.  Would be a nice service if master could flag 
> very bad clock skew.  Regionservers could report their local time when they 
> ping the master.  It could do a compare.
