Andrew Kyle Purtell updated HBASE-25911:
----------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Fix uses of System.currentTimeMillis (should be
> EnvironmentEdgeManager.currentTime)
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-25911
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25911
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Andrew Kyle Purtell
> Assignee: Andrew Kyle Purtell
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.0-alpha-1, 2.5.0
>
>
> We introduced EnvironmentEdgeManager a long time ago as a way to inject
> alternate clocks (gettimeofday() aka System.currentTimeMillis()) for unit
> tests. In order for this to be effective, all callers that would otherwise
> use System.currentTimeMillis() must call EnvironmentEdgeManager.currentTime()
> instead, except obviously the implementors of EnvironmentEdge.
> It's common for contributors to be unaware of this practice and reviewers
> might not catch it.
> It will be much more important to have EnvironmentEdgeManager in use where
> expected once we have EnvironmentEdge also providing a monotonic clock
> source. (See parent.)
> On another subtask I will introduce a build enforcer that bans
> System.currentTimeMillis() except where annotated to allow it.
