Class TimeSource

java.lang.Object
org.apache.solr.common.util.TimeSource
Direct Known Subclasses:
TimeSource.CurrentTimeSource, TimeSource.NanoTimeSource, TimeSource.SimTimeSource

public abstract class TimeSource extends Object
Source of time.

NOTE: depending on implementation returned values may not be related in any way to the current Epoch or calendar time, and they may even be negative - but the API guarantees that they are always monotonically increasing.

    • get

      public static TimeSource get(String type)
      Obtain an instance of time source.
      Parameters:
      type - supported types: currentTime, nanoTime and accelerated time with a double factor in the form of simTime:FACTOR, e.g. simTime:2.5
      Returns:
      one of the supported types
    • getTimeNs

      public abstract long getTimeNs()
      Return a time value, in nanosecond units. Depending on implementation this value may or may not be related to Epoch time.
    • getEpochTimeNs

      public abstract long getEpochTimeNs()
      Return Epoch time. Implementations that are not natively based on epoch time may return values that are consistently off by a (small) fixed number of milliseconds from the actual epoch time.
    • getTimeAndEpochNs

      public abstract long[] getTimeAndEpochNs()
      Return both the source's time value and the corresponding epoch time value. This method ensures that epoch time calculations use the same internal value of time as that reported by getTimeNs().
      Returns:
      an array where the first element is getTimeNs() and the second element is getEpochTimeNs().
    • sleep

      public abstract void sleep(long ms) throws InterruptedException
      Sleep according to this source's notion of time. E.g. accelerated time source such as TimeSource.SimTimeSource will sleep proportionally shorter, according to its multiplier.
      Parameters:
      ms - number of milliseconds to sleep
      Throws:
      InterruptedException - when the current thread is interrupted
    • convertDelay

      public abstract long convertDelay(TimeUnit fromUnit, long value, TimeUnit toUnit)
      This method allows using TimeSource with APIs that require providing just plain time intervals, e.g. Object.wait(long). Values returned by this method are adjusted according to the time source's notion of time - e.g. accelerated time source provided by TimeSource.SimTimeSource will return intervals that are proportionally shortened by the multiplier.

      NOTE: converting small values may significantly affect precision of the returned values due to rounding, especially for accelerated time source, so care should be taken to use time units that result in relatively large values. For example, converting a value of 1 expressed in seconds would result in less precision than converting a value of 1000 expressed in milliseconds.

      Parameters:
      fromUnit - source unit
      value - original value
      toUnit - target unit
      Returns:
      converted value, possibly scaled by the source's notion of accelerated time (see TimeSource.SimTimeSource)
    • toString

      public String toString()
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
