Pull request overview
This PR fixes a correctness issue in PrimaryUpdateAndCacheUtils.pollLocalCache where the cache-polling timeout was computed using LocalTime (time-of-day), which can wrap at midnight and is susceptible to wall-clock adjustments. It switches the timeout tracking to a monotonic clock so the polling loop behaves consistently.
Changes:
- Replace
LocalTime/ChronoUnitdeadline computation with aSystem.nanoTime()-based timeout. - Use
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toNanos(...)to convert the configured timeout into nanoseconds. - Remove now-unneeded
java.timeimports.
`pollLocalCache` computed its deadline with `LocalTime`:
var startTime = LocalTime.now();
final var timeoutTime = startTime.plus(timeoutMillis, ChronoUnit.MILLIS);
while (timeoutTime.isAfter(LocalTime.now())) {
`LocalTime` is a time of day and wraps at midnight, so for any call made
within `timeoutMillis` of 00:00 the computed deadline is *earlier* than
the current time. The loop body never runs and the method throws
`OperatorException("Timeout of resource polling from cache for resource")`
immediately, failing the update it was retrying even though the resource
would have appeared in cache. With the default 10s timeout that is a
10-second window each day.
`LocalTime.now()` is also wall-clock based, so an NTP step or a DST change
can shorten or extend the timeout.
Switches to `System.nanoTime()`, which is monotonic and has no wrap-around
concern, using overflow-safe subtraction for the comparison.
No test is added: reproducing this requires controlling the clock, and the
class is already deprecated for removal.
