@PublicEvolving public abstract class Clock extends Object
This refers to real world wall clock time, and it is typically derived from a system clock. It
is subject to clock drift and inaccuracy, and can jump if the system clock is adjusted. Absolute
time behaves similar to
This time advances at the same speed as the absolute time, but the timestamps can only
be referred to relative to each other. The timestamps have no absolute meaning and cannot be
compared across JVM processes. The source for the timestamps is not affected by adjustments to
the system clock, so it never jumps. Relative time behaves similar to
