---------------------------------

             Summary: Replace ink_cluster_time() with just "localtime"
                 Key: TS-2079
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2079
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Clustering, Core
            Reporter: Leif Hedstrom


I think this shared "adjustment" of a time concept across a cluster is 
generally pointless these days. What it does it to take a negative approach, 
and use the largest skew as an offset on each box. This is to e.g. allow for 
cluster cache object to live at a duration based on the fastest clock.

It's possible this was a useful feature in the past, but honestly, with NTP 
being ubiquitous, I think we should just assume that the clocks are within 
reasonable skew inside the cluster.
