Interface TimeWindow

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    @DoNotImplement() 
public interface TimeWindow

    Defines an interval on a timeline; not a single, instantaneous point.

    There is no such thing as "exact" time in distributed systems, due to the underlying physics involved, and other issues such as network latency. A time window represents an approximation of an instant with a margin of tolerance, and may be fully bounded.
