Interface TimestampGenerator

All Known Implementing Classes:

AtomicMonotonicTimestampGenerator, ServerSideTimestampGenerator, ThreadLocalMonotonicTimestampGenerator

public interface TimestampGenerator

Generates client-side, microsecond-precision query timestamps.

Given that Cassandra uses those timestamps to resolve conflicts, implementations should generate incrementing timestamps for successive implementations.

long	next() Returns the next timestamp.

Method Detail

next

long next()

Returns the next timestamp.

Returns:

the next timestamp (in microseconds). If it equals Long.MIN_VALUE, it won't be sent by the driver, letting Cassandra generate a server-side timestamp.
