Andrew Wang created HADOOP-11107: ------------------------------------ Summary: Improve tests to not rely on JDK random implementation Key: HADOOP-11107 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11107 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 2.5.1 Reporter: Andrew Wang
As [~daryn] points out on HDFS-6840, writing unit tests that depend on a certain random seed always generating the same numbers is somewhat brittle, since the JDK does not guarantee this as part of compatibility. It'd be good to improve our unit testing to be agnostic to the JDK random implementation, e.g. by providing our own mock random implementation, or through other methods of verification. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
