Proposed block will be handled in the future err="block in the future"

[sowjanya-jpmc]

Hi,

I have 4 node quorum network. Peers were added one after another and added as validators using istanbul.propose(). After adding 4 node as validator, I see the below msg in node.log. What does it mean, node doesn't accept the blocks from a particular node?
Please let me know how to resolve this .

The proposed block has the time when it is supposed be validated.
It's checked with the local clock of the validator.
So the clocks should be synced. Check if they are. (not sure we truncate at the higher second)

You can adjust the verification with AllowedFutureBlockTime in seconds, default is 0s.
