> This is a sub-issue of
> [HBase-14070|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14070]. This JIRA is
> a small step towards completely adding Hybrid Logical Clocks(HLC) to HBase.
> The main idea of HLC is described in
> [HBase-14070|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14070] along with
> the motivation of adding it to HBase.
> What is this path/issue about ?
> This issue attempts to add a timestamp class to hbase-common and timestamp
> type to HTable.
> This is a part of the attempt to get HLC into HBase. This patch does not
> interfere with the current working of HBase.
> Why Timestamp Class ?
> Timestamp class can be as an abstraction to represent time in Hbase in 64
> bits.
> It is just used for manipulating with the 64 bits of the timestamp and is not
> concerned about the actual time.
> There are three types of timestamps. System time, Custom and HLC. Each one of
> it has methods to manipulate the 64 bits of timestamp.
> HTable changes: Added a timestamp type property to HTable. This will help
> HBase exist in conjunction with old type of timestamp and also the HLC which
> will be introduced. The default is set to custom timestamp(current way of
> usage of timestamp). default unset timestamp is also custom timestamp as it
> should be so. The default timestamp will be changed to HLC when HLC feature
> is introduced completely in HBase.
> Suggestions are welcome.
