One problem here is that the mersenne twister prng is quite large I think, and the alternatives are not strong prngs. At the moment I have moved to another solution so I don't immediately need this, however I think the discussion is very valuable. I might want to use it later for things like calculating medians for distributed data, which is a minimiser for l1 error. Perhaps a new non-deterministic algorithm could be added like a mergeable gk sketch? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
