Do I need clock synchronisation for cassandra if only one client writes to cluster? -

from cassandra's documentation got know cassandra uses timestamps of query resolve conflicts between 2 writes , hence clocks on nodes of cluster needs synchronised. in use-case have 1 client writing cluster , multiple clients reading cluster. so, if use client-side timestamp generator (which believe default version>3) still need have cluster node clocks synchronised each other?

in context of write timestamps associated data being stored, clock synchronization not needed if using client timestamps , single client.

however, still discourage not @ least trying keep clocks in sync in cassandra cluster. there have been cases clock skew affects other parts of cassandra. example, cassandra-11991 shows case clock skew effected node clocks used light weight transactions. while particular issue has been addressed, still seems idea make effort synchronize.
