Enabling Network Time Protocol (NTP), or some equivalent way, to keep clocks on all nodes in sync is critical.
Cassandra decides which data is most current between all of the nodes in the cluster based on timestamps. It is paramount to ensure all clocks are in-sync, otherwise the most current data may not be returned or worse, marked for deletion.
Depending on the Linux installation this may be checked by executing the following command on each node:
ps -aef | grep ntp
OR
ps -aef | grep chronyd
OR
timedatectl status | grep NTP
If NTP is not configured or clocks are out-of-sync then this is a finding.
Install and start the time protocol on every node in the Cassandra cluster.
