Warnings if RS times are out of sync
------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-3558
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3558
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: regionserver
    Affects Versions: 0.89.20100924
            Reporter: Sean Sechrist
            Priority: Minor


Last night we ran into a problem with the times on RSs being out of sync by 1 
minute. The times were being reset by ~70s often because we were getting 
different responses from pool.ntpd.org.

This caused lost ZK sessions and problems writing to datanodes,  so all the RSs 
kept shutting down.

I think it would be useful to have HBaseFsck check to see if the times on the 
region servers are out of sync. Or maybe put a warning on the master web ui or 
something. 

This seems related to HBASE-3168, but applies when region servers become out of 
sync once they already joined the cluster (due to NTP issues or something else).
