+# Timestamp generators
+
+If you want to generate timestamps on the client side you can provide
+a TimestampGenerator to a SessionBuilder when creating a Session. Then
+every executed statement will have attached a new timestamp generated
+by the provided TimestampGenerator.
+Timestamps are set according to precendence:
+
+1. ```USING TIMESTAMP``` in the query itself
+2. Manually using ```set_timestamp``` on the query
+3. Timestamp generated by the generator
+
+## Simple Timestamp Generator
+
+Most basic client-side timestamp generator. Generates timestamp
+based on system clock. Provides no guarantees and panics when the system clock
+provides timestamp before the unix epoch.
+
+## Monotonic Timestamp Generator
+
+Client-side timestamp generator. Guarantees monotonic timestamps
+based on the system clock, with automatic timestamp incrementation
+if the system clock timestamp would not be monotonic. If the clock skew
+exceeds `warning_threshold` of the generator (can be changed with `with_warning_times`, 1s by default)
+user will be warned with timestamp generation with `warning_interval` cooldown period
+(can be changed with `with_warning_times`, 1s by default) to not spam the user. If user does not want to 
+be warned about the clock skew, the warnings can be turned off with `without_warnings` function.
