churro morales commented on HBASE-14070:
----------------------------------------
this is so close to being done. So many hbase issues can be resolved with this
feature. I would like to try and finish this but I don't want to step on
anybody's toes since [~saitejar] is so far along with this patch :). Are you
planning on completing the last few open issues?
If there is nobody working on this, I would love to try and get this in to
HBase 2.x because it could solve so many of our issues.
> Hybrid Logical Clocks for HBase
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-14070
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14070
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Enis Soztutar
> Assignee: Sai Teja Ranuva
> Attachments: HBASE-14070.master.001.patch,
> HybridLogicalClocksforHBaseandPhoenix.docx,
> HybridLogicalClocksforHBaseandPhoenix.pdf

>
> HBase and Phoenix uses systems physical clock (PT) to give timestamps to
> events (read and writes). This works mostly when the system clock is strictly
> monotonically increasing and there is no cross-dependency between servers
> clocks. However we know that leap seconds, general clock skew and clock drift
> are in fact real.
> This jira proposes using Hybrid Logical Clocks (HLC) as an implementation of
> hybrid physical clock + a logical clock. HLC is best of both worlds where it
> keeps causality relationship similar to logical clocks, but still is
> compatible with NTP based physical system clock. HLC can be represented in
> 64bits.
> A design document is attached and also can be found here:
