Overview ¶
Package hlc implements the Hybrid Logical Clock outlined in "Logical Physical Clocks and Consistent Snapshots in Globally Distributed Databases", available online at http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/tech-reports/2014-04.pdf.
Package hlc is a generated protocol buffer package. It is generated from these files: cockroach/pkg/util/hlc/timestamp.proto It has these top-level messages: Timestamp

Functions ¶
Types ¶
type Clock ¶
type Clock struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Clock is a hybrid logical clock. Objects of this type model causality while maintaining a relation to physical time. Roughly speaking, timestamps consist of the largest wall clock time among all events, and a logical clock that ticks whenever an event happens in the future of the local physical clock. The data structure is thread safe and thus can safely be shared by multiple goroutines.
See NewClock for details.
func NewClock ¶
NewClock creates a new hybrid logical clock associated with the given physical clock. The logical ts is initialized to zero.
The physical clock is typically given by the wall time of the local machine in unix epoch nanoseconds, using hlc.UnixNano. This is not a requirement.
A value of 0 for maxOffset means that clock skew checking, if performed on this clock by RemoteClockMonitor, is disabled.
Example ¶
ExampleNewClock shows how to create a new hybrid logical clock based on the local machine's physical clock. The sanity checks in this example will, of course, not fail and the output will be the age of the Unix epoch in nanoseconds.
Output:
func (*Clock) MaxOffset ¶
MaxOffset returns the maximal clock offset to any node in the cluster.
A value of 0 means offset checking is disabled.
func (*Clock) Now ¶
Now returns a timestamp associated with an event from the local machine that may be sent to other members of the distributed network. This is the counterpart of Update, which is passed a timestamp received from another member of the distributed network.
func (*Clock) PhysicalNow ¶
PhysicalNow returns the local wall time. It corresponds to the physicalClock provided at instantiation. For a timestamp value, use Now() instead.
func (*Clock) PhysicalTime ¶
PhysicalTime returns a time.Time struct using the local wall time.
func (*Clock) Update ¶
Update takes a hybrid timestamp, usually originating from an event received from another member of a distributed system. The clock is updated and the hybrid timestamp associated to the receipt of the event returned. An error may only occur if offset checking is active and the remote timestamp was rejected due to clock offset, in which case the timestamp of the clock will not have been altered. To timestamp events of local origin, use Now instead.
type ManualClock ¶
type ManualClock struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
ManualClock is a convenience type to facilitate creating a hybrid logical clock whose physical clock is manually controlled. ManualClock is thread safe.
func NewManualClock ¶
func NewManualClock(nanos int64) *ManualClock
NewManualClock returns a new instance, initialized with specified timestamp.
func (*ManualClock) Increment ¶
func (m *ManualClock) Increment(incr int64)
Increment atomically increments the manual clock's timestamp.
func (*ManualClock) Set ¶
func (m *ManualClock) Set(nanos int64)
Set atomically sets the manual clock's timestamp.
func (*ManualClock) UnixNano ¶
func (m *ManualClock) UnixNano() int64
UnixNano returns the underlying manual clock's timestamp.
type Timestamp ¶
type Timestamp struct { // Holds a wall time, typically a unix epoch time // expressed in nanoseconds. WallTime int64 `protobuf:"varint,1,opt,name=wall_time,json=wallTime" json:"wall_time"` // The logical component captures causality for events whose wall // times are equal. It is effectively bounded by (maximum clock // skew)/(minimal ns between events) and nearly impossible to // overflow. Logical int32 `protobuf:"varint,2,opt,name=logical" json:"logical"` }
Timestamp represents a state of the hybrid logical clock.
func NewPopulatedTimestamp ¶
func (Timestamp) Add ¶
Add returns a timestamp with the WallTime and Logical components increased. wallTime is expressed in nanos.
func (*Timestamp) Backward ¶
Backward updates the timestamp from the one given, if that moves it backwards in time.
func (*Timestamp) Descriptor ¶
func (*Timestamp) Forward ¶
Forward updates the timestamp from the one given, if that moves it forwards in time. Returns true if the timestamp was adjusted and false otherwise.
func (*Timestamp) ProtoMessage ¶
func (*Timestamp) ProtoMessage()
