Interface MonotonicClock

All Known Implementing Classes:

MonotonicClock.AbstractEpochSamplingClock, MonotonicClock.SampledClock, MonotonicClock.SystemClock

public interface MonotonicClock

Wrapper around time related functions that are either implemented by using the default JVM calls or by using a custom implementation for testing purposes. See MonotonicClock.Global.preciseTime for how to use a custom implementation. Please note that Clock wasn't used, as it would not be possible to provide an implementation for now() with the exact same properties of System.nanoTime(). TODO better rationalise MonotonicClock/Clock

Method Details

now

long now()

See Also:

• Provides a monotonic time that can be compared with any other such value produced by the same clock since the application started only; these times cannot be persisted or serialized to other nodes. Nanosecond precision.

error

long error()

Returns:

nanoseconds of potential error

translate

MonotonicClockTranslation translate()

isAfter

boolean isAfter(long instant)

isAfter

boolean isAfter(long now,
 long instant)
