Steve Loughran commented on MAPREDUCE-5305:
-------------------------------------------

I've not seen this happen in Hadoop, but have encountered it in other DFSs, 
where the FS server's clock was 100% in sync with the others via NTP, but its 
time zone was in GMT, not PST. Result: premature loss of data.

this is precisely why {{ant -diagnostics}} includes an FS offset test -bad time 
in the FS can confuse a lot of dependency logic.

-------------------------------------------
 Temp dir
-------------------------------------------
Temp dir is /var/folders/57/xyts0qt105z1f1k0twk6rd8m0000gq/T/
Temp dir is writeable
Temp dir alignment with system clock is -191 ms

> AggregatedLogDeletionService may delete recent stuff if its clock is out of

>             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: jobhistoryserver
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.1.0-beta
>            Reporter: Steve Loughran
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The {{AggregatedLogDeletionService}} compares file time with current time 
> before deciding whether to delete things. If the clock on the system is 
> sufficiently wrong, it may overreact.
> If this is felt to be an issue, the fix would be for it to create a file on 
> the DFS, stat it, and work out out the offset.
