Deadline.Ticker (grpc-all 1.68.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- io.grpc.Deadline.Ticker

Enclosing class:

Deadline
```
public abstract static class Deadline.Ticker
extends Object
```
Time source representing nanoseconds since fixed but arbitrary point in time.
DO NOT use custom Deadline.Ticker implementations in production, because deadlines created with custom tickers are incompatible with those created with the system ticker. Always use the system ticker whenever you need to provide one in production code.
This is EXPERIMENTAL API and may subject to change. If you'd like it to be stabilized or have any feedback, please let us know.
In general implementations should be thread-safe, unless it's implemented and used in a localized environment (like unit tests) where you are sure the usages are synchronized.

Since:

1.24.0
