Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-11615:
------------------------------------

If we have nanosecond precision, is there a reason to use microsecond rather 
than nanosecond precision?

> FSNamesystemLock metrics can be inaccurate due to millisecond precision

> Currently the {{FSNamesystemLock}} metrics created in HDFS-10872 track the 
> lock hold time using {{Timer.monotonicNow()}}, which has millisecond-level 
> precision. However, many of these operations hold the lock for less than a 
> millisecond, making these metrics inaccurate. We should instead use 
> {{System.nanoTime()}} for higher accuracy.
