Description
We currently use NANOSECONDS.toMillis(System.nanoTime()) for generating the ICT when
commitLarge
is called. However, this usage of System.nanoTime() is not correct as it should only be used for measuring time difference, not to get an approximate wall clock time. This leads to scenarios where the ICT becomes very small (e.g. 1 Jan 1970) sometimes because some systems return a very small number when System.nanoTime() is called. This PR changes this so that clock.getCurrentTimeMillis() is used instead.How was this patch tested?
Added a test case to ensure that
clock.getCurrentTimeMillis()
is being used.Does this PR introduce any user-facing changes?
No
