Arun Suresh commented on HADOOP-11891:
--------------------------------------
[~andrew.wang], thanks for the review
Manually tested and verified using *lsof* that no new file descriptors are
created for */dev/urandom* when {{OsSecureRandom}} is initialized and
{{setConf()}} is called.. only when a random bytes are requested.
> OsSecureRandom should lazily fill its reservoir

> The {{OsSecureRandom}} class that is initialized by on the the
> {{CryptoCodec}} implementations eagerly fills its reservoir of random bits.
> This will result in too many file descriptors being opened simply and is not
> really required if the client already has a random IV and key needed for
> decryption.
