David Smiley commented on SOLR-10338:
-------------------------------------

I think SolrTestCaseJ4's insistence on this is a bit of an over-reach for 
external projects that want to use solr-test-framework.  It's well intentioned 
but creates an annoying hassle that randomly occurs.  When it happens, yes the 
exception is helpful but then I have to go modify my build to pass the system 
property both in a pom.xml (or equivalent to other build tools) and my IDE 
config.

I can see that Solr itself wants this, but solr-test-framework not only serves 
testing Solr itself but external players.

Curious: do you know what randomized situation causes this to trip?  It's not 
clear; I have a reproducible seed but I don't know (without lots of digging) 
why usually it won't trip.  FWIW I run on a Mac with Java 8.

> It would be best if SecureRandom could be made non blocking. In that case we 
> could get rid of random entropy exhaustion issue related to all usages of 
> SecureRandom.
