Andrey Zagrebin commented on FLINK-4421:
----------------------------------------
Yes, I meant only the EG case which is a subtask (FLINK-4423) of this issue.
Eventually, I was just wondering whether to keep both issues open.
> Make clocks and time measurements monotonous
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-4421
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4421
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Coordination
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, many places use {{System.currentTimeMillis()}} to acquire
> timestamps or measure time intervals.
> Since this relies on the system clock, and the system clock is not
> necessarily monotonous (in the presence of clock updates), this can lead to
> negative duration and decreasing timestamps where increasing timestamps are
> expected.
