Hybrid Logical Clocks

Documentation

An implementation of Hybrid Logical Clocks as described in "Logical Physical Clocks and Consistent Snapshots in Globally Distributed Databases", as found at http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/tech-reports/2014-04.pdf.

Forked from https://github.com/cstorey/hybrid-clocks, modified to more closely follow the paper, using timestamps that fit into 64-bits.

lib.rs:

Implementation of Hybrid Logical Clocks.

This is based on the paper "Logical Physical Clocks and Consistent Snapshots in Globally Distributed Databases". Provides a strictly-monotonic clock that can be used to determine if one event happens-before another.
