com.hazelcast.core.EntryView#getLastAccessTime is invalid

[OlegYch]

using 3.3-EA the method returns values like 314897071 which does not seem like a plausible access time in any imaginable unit
similarly all other time values in entryview return something unusable
creationTime=314894976,expirationTime=0,hits=53,lastAccessTime=314897071,lastStoredTime=0,lastUpdateTime=314896015,version=16,evictionCriteriaNumber=53,ttl=0

Here is a failing test:

    @Test
    public void testIssue2581() throws Exception {
        long startTime = new Date().getTime();

        IMap<String, String> map = createHazelcastInstance().getMap("map");
        map.put("foo", "bar");
        EntryView<String, String> foo = map.getEntryView("foo");
        assertTrue(foo.getCreationTime() >= startTime);
    }

The reason is the MapService uses System.nanoTime() to set a timestamps and entryView treat it as "number of nanoseconds since epoch". However the JavaDoc in System::nanoTime() says:

"This method can only be used to measure elapsed time and is not related to any other notion of system or wall-clock time. The value returned represents nanoseconds since some fixed but arbitrary origin time (perhaps in the future, so values may be negative)."

Therefore nanoTime() cannot be used to obtain a (global) timestamp.
