Enis Soztutar updated HBASE-6833:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: NanoSecondPrecisionEnvironmentEdge.java

Attaching a class, which does adjust the milis time by using the more precise 
nanoTime() counters. EnvironmentEgde.currentTimeMilis() is how HBase obtains 
the time from the system. The default implementation just returns 
System.currentTimeMilis().
This is not intended for inclusion, but just for experimentation. This seems to 
do a decent job of providing more "incremental" updates to the system milis 
clock, but there are a couple of problems, like synchronization, and different 
CPUs returning inconsistent nanoTime()'s. Note that even if we inject this to 
the test, it still fails.

> HBase relies on the system clock obtained by System.currentTimeMilis() to 
> supply the version, if it is not provided by the client in Put's and 
> Delete's. At HBASE-6832 and HBASE-6826, we discovered that on some platforms, 
> the milis clock might not be updated every milisecond, which might cause 
> unexpected behavior. We also did some preliminary analysis there.
> In this issue, we can further discuss and inspect whether it is a problem for 
> main target platforms and if so what can be done.
