>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: common, net
>            Reporter: Ahmed Hussein

>            Priority: Major

> In {{NetworkTopology}}, I noticed that there are some hanging fruits to 
> improve the performance.
> Inside {{sortByDistance}}, collections.shuffle is performed on the list 
> before calling {{secondarySort}}.
> {code:java}
> Collections.shuffle(list, r);
> if (secondarySort != null) {
>   secondarySort.accept(list);
> }
> {code}
> However, in different call sites, {{collections.shuffle}} is passed as the 
> secondarySort to {{sortByDistance}}. This means that the shuffle is executed 
> twice on each list.
> Also, logic wise, it is useless to shuffle before applying a tie breaker 
> which might make the shuffle work obsolete.
> In addition, [~daryn] reported that:
> * topology is unnecessarily locking/unlocking to calculate the distance for 
> every node
> * shuffling uses a seeded Random, instead of ThreadLocalRandom, which is 
> heavily synchronized
