stack commented on HBASE-8927: ------------------------------ We could left shift millis in the long and then keep incrementing sequence number within a millisecond? (more expensive than call to nano). On CLOCK_MONOTONIC from http://linux.die.net/man/3/clock_gettime, it says "Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since some unspecified starting point." which is off-putting but when I print it out it is same as millis. Did you see it going backward or out of order on SMP Enis (in spite of CLOCK_MONOTONIC)? Were you on windows? > Use nano time instead of mili time everywhere > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8927 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8927 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: stack > Attachments: 8927.txt > > > Less collisions and we are paying the price of a long anyways so might as > well fill it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
