Timestamp generators¶
If you want to generate timestamps on the client side you can provide a TimestampGenerator to a SessionBuilder when creating a Session. Then every executed statement will have attached a new timestamp generated by the provided TimestampGenerator. Timestamps are set according to precendence:
USING TIMESTAMPin the statement string itselfManually using
set_timestampon the statementTimestamp generated by the generator
Simple Timestamp Generator¶
Most basic client-side timestamp generator. Generates timestamp based on system clock. Provides no guarantees and panics when the system clock provides timestamp before the unix epoch.
Monotonic Timestamp Generator¶
Client-side timestamp generator. Guarantees monotonic timestamps
based on the system clock, with automatic timestamp incrementation
if the system clock timestamp would not be monotonic. If the clock skew
exceeds warning_threshold of the generator (can be changed with with_warning_times, 1s by default)
user will be warned with timestamp generation with warning_interval cooldown period
(can be changed with with_warning_times, 1s by default) to not spam the user. If user does not want to
be warned about the clock skew, the warnings can be turned off with without_warnings function.
