How to Have Your Causality and Wall Clocks Too
56:38
Summary
Jon Moore talks about distributed monotonic clocks (DMC) whose timestamps can reflect causality but which have a component that stays close to wall clock time. This scheme builds on previous hybrid logical clock proposals by adding important operational hooks and by building in mechanisms to prevent a single runaway system clock from dragging a whole cluster's logical clocks into the future.
