Summary: Built in NTP client
Key: KUDU-2859
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2859
Project: Kudu
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: server
Reporter: Grant Henke
Requiring ntpd or chrony to be setup correctly and configured correctly makes
deployments more complicated.
We should include our own built-in stripped-down implementation of NTP without
any reliance on kernel features. This should hopefully make it easier for users
to configure NTP even if they don't have root, and also can maintain better
clock error than the system implementation, since we can prioritize low error
bounds rather than low jitter.
Additionally this simplifies docker deployments by not requiring CAP_SYS_TIME
or privileged containers and ensuring host machines have ntpd setup correctly.
