Hi Abe, Thanks a lot for your reply and for the reference. Excuse me, I have a comment and a request for clarification.
I see in the link you provided "ZooKeeper doesn't use real time, or clock time, at all except to put timestamps into the stat structure on znode creation and znode modification." Also, I see that znode state structure has the following mtime: The time in milliseconds from epoch when this znode was last modified. what is the usage of this mtime? Consider Znode z1, I was thinking in this senario: 1- Master kept mtime T1 for changing z1. 2- Master died. 3- A new master will be elected, how will the new master deal with the timestamps attached to the znodes? The new master has no sense of the mtimes values attached to the znode. Does that affect anything, if for example a new modification is proposed?
