Are you familiar with hybrid logical time systems like " HybridTime - Accessible Global Consistency with High Clock Uncertainty" (http://users.ece.utexas.edu/~garg/pdslab/david/hybrid-time-t...) or "Logical Physical Clocks and Consistent Snapshots in Globally Distributed Databases" (https://cse.buffalo.edu/tech-reports/2014-04.pdf)? I'd be interested in reading what you view as the tradeoffs between Bloom clocks and these systems.

I really like the Logical Physical Clocks paper. I'm glad you mentioned it :)

There's also Hybrid Vector Clocks which seem to accomplish the same goal as Bloom clocks:

Thanks for the links. I will read them during the upcoming days and hopefully find some time to write a blog or something. This looks pretty cool.
