## Timestamp Oracle(TSO)
Like [TiKV](https://github.com/tikv/tikv), `Milvus 2.0` provides `TSO` service, all the events must alloc timestamp from `TSO`not use local timestamp any more, so the first problem should be solved.

## Time Synchronization
In order to understand the `Time Synchronization` better, firstly we need to introduce the data operation of `Milvus 2.0` briefly, taking `Insert Operation` as example.
- Users can configure lots of `Proxy` to achieve load balancing, in `Milvus 2.0`
- `SDK` could connect to any `Proxy`
- When `Proxy` receieves `Insert` Request from `SDK`, it would hash the `InsrtMsg` by `Primary key`, and then split the `InsertMsg` into different `MsgStream` according to the hash value.
- Each `InsertMsg` would be assigned an `Timestamp` before send to the `MsgStream.`

Based on above information, we can know that the `MsgStream` have the following characteristics:
- In `MsgStream`, `InsertMsg` from the same `Proxy` must be incremented in timestamp

So the second problem has turned into this: after reading a message from `MsgStream`, how to make sure that all the messages earlier than this timestamp have been consumed. For example, when I read a message , whoes timestamp is `110` and produced by `Proxy2`, from `MsgStream`, but the message ,whoes timestamp is `80` and produced by `Proxy1`, is still in the `MsgStream`, what shoudl I do on this status?
So the second problem has turned into this: after reading a message from `MsgStream`, how to make sure that all the messages with smaller timestamp have been consumed ?
For example, when read a message with timestamp `110` produced by `Proxy2`, but the message with timestamp `80` produced by `Proxy1`, is still in the `MsgStream`, how to handle this situation ?
The following graph shows the core logic of `Time Synchronization System` in `Milvus 2.0`, it should solve the second problem.
- Each `Proxy` will periodically reports the latest timestamp of every `MsgStream` to `RootCoord`, the default interval is `200ms`
- For each `Msgstream`, `Rootcoord` finds the minimum timestamp of all `Proxies` on this `Msgstream`, and inserts this minimum timestamp into the `Msgstream`
- When the consumer reads the timestamp inserted by the `RootCoord` on the `MsgStream`, it indicates that the messages eariler than this timestamp have been consumed, so all actions that depend on this timestamp can be executed safely

- When the consumer reads the timestamp inserted by the `RootCoord` on the `MsgStream`, it indicates that all messages with smaller timestamp have been consumed, so all actions that depend on this timestamp can be executed safely
- The message inserted by `RootCoord` into `MsgStream` is type of `TimeTick`
