Hi Anil,

I was referring to timestamp due to the first statement of this documentation- 
https://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/12/developing/distributed_regions/how_region_versioning_works.html#topic_C5B74CCDD909403C815639339AA03758:

“Each region stores version and timestamp information for use in conflict 
detection. Geode members use the recorded information to detect and resolve 
conflicts consistently before applying a distributed update.”

Although going now after re-reading that I do see that apart from that 
statement timestamp is not mentioned at all.

Thanks,
Vahram.

No it doesn't. The consistency check mechanism doesn't use timestamp within the 
cluster.

Hi Bruce, Anthony,

Thank you very much for your replies.
One more question – could this time difference create some inconsistence in 
case of replicated regions? Will this affect conflict checking that happens 
before region updates to detect and resolve concurrent and out-of-order updates?

Thanks,
Vahram.

The only time-sync thing I can think of is tombstone expiration.  The 
concurrency control mechanism creates tombstones when entries in the cache are 
destroyed.  While there is a distributed garbage collection mechanism to take 
care of removing tombstones there is also a local check to see if a tombstone 
has expired, so you don't want to have big clock skews between your servers.

Hi All,

Could someone help to understand whether there is some threshold on time 
difference between Geode cluster members if they have the same time zone? Or 
all members should be in sync from time point of view for normal functioning?

Thanks,
Vahram.
