Hi,

I'm wondering what exactly timestamp does SessionImplementor.getTimestamp() method returnes ?
It is not normal timestamp as milliseconds from 01.01.1970
The number is much bigger. Does anyone have an idea ?

Thanks,
Peter

Yes, I already check the sources and got what it returns.
The question is, is there a way to get the real transaction start time.

that timestamp is not for getting transaction start time.

It is initialized with a value that helps into ensuring cache consistency/semantics.
