Struct hybrid_clocks::Timestamp

pub struct Timestamp<T> {
    pub epoch: u32,
    pub time: T,
    pub count: u32,
}

A value that represents a logical timestamp.

These allow us to describe at least a partial ordering over events, in the same style as Lamport Clocks. In summary, if a < b then we can say that a logically happens-before b. Because they are scalar values, they can't be used to tell between whether:

• a happenned concurrently with b, or
• a is part of b's causal history, or vica-versa.

Fields

epoch: u32

An epoch counter.

time: T

The wall-clock time as returned by the clock source.

count: u32

A Lamport clock used to disambiguate events that are given the same wall-clock time. This is reset whenever time is incremented.
