Class OffsetEpochNanoClock

java.lang.Object
org.agrona.concurrent.OffsetEpochNanoClock
All Implemented Interfaces:
EpochNanoClock

public class OffsetEpochNanoClock extends Object implements EpochNanoClock
An accurate, zero-gc, pure-java, EpochNanoClock that calculates an initial epoch nano time based on System.currentTimeMillis() and then uses that offset to adjust the return value of System.nanoTime() to the UNIX epoch.

The sample() method can be used in order to reset these initial values if your system clock gets updated.

This class can be used from multiple threads safely.

    • OffsetEpochNanoClock

      public OffsetEpochNanoClock()
      Constructs the clock with default configuration.
    • OffsetEpochNanoClock

      public OffsetEpochNanoClock(int maxMeasurementRetries, long measurementThresholdNs, long resampleIntervalNs)
      Constructs the clock with custom configuration parameters.
      Parameters:
      maxMeasurementRetries - the maximum number of times that this clock will attempt to re-sample the initial time values.
      measurementThresholdNs - the desired accuracy window for the initial clock samples.
      resampleIntervalNs - the desired interval before the samples are automatically recalculated. The seed recalculation enables the system to minimise clock drift if the system clock is updated.

    • nanoTime

      public long nanoTime()
      Time in nanoseconds since 1 Jan 1970 UTC.
      Specified by:

    • isWithinThreshold

      public boolean isWithinThreshold()
      Gets whether the clock sampled the initial time offset accurately.
      Returns:
      true if the clock sampled the initial time offset accurately.
