stack commented on HBASE-711:
-----------------------------

FYI, in case you hadn't seen it, we added this to split code a while back:

{code}
      // Calculate regionid to use.  Can't be less than that of parent else
      // it'll insert into wrong location over in .META. table: HBASE-710.
      long rid = System.currentTimeMillis();
      if (rid < this.regionInfo.getRegionId()) {
        LOG.warn("Clock skew; parent regions id is " +
          this.regionInfo.getRegionId() + " but current time here is " + rid);
        rid = this.regionInfo.getRegionId() + 1;
      }
{code}

Makes it so splits always sort after parents whatever the clockskew.

> 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.
