Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-4148:
--------------------------------------
bq. Try RandomInts from randomizedtesting
Thanks, it fixes the problem for large range of ints, but I would also like to
be able to generate random longs (> Integer.MAX_VALUE) in a fixed range. For
{{PackedInts}}, I always need longs between 0 and a power of 2, but I thought
it would be more useful to add a general-purpose {{long nextLong(Random, long,
long)}} to {{_TestUtil}}.
Since {{Random.nextLong(long)}} doesn't exist, it would be tempting to
implement it by ourselves by using the same logic as {{Random.nextInt(int)}},
but I am afraid there would be copyright issues, so we should probably do it
otherwise (?).
By the way, the code of {{randomIntBetween}} makes me curious, are all values
as likely when the range of values is {{>= Integer.MAX_VALUE}} (ie. when the
else block gets executed)?

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: general/test
> Reporter: Adrien Grand
> Priority: Trivial
>
> It would be helpful in TestPackedInts at least, in order to generate random
> values (as a workaround, we currently generate a random int between 0 and
> {{min(Integer.MAX_VALUE, PackedInts.maxValue(bitsPerValue)}}). Moreover, it
> would help to fix {{nextInt}} for large ranges (calling {{nextInt(random,
> -10, Integer.MAX_VALUE)}} or even {{nextInt(random, 0, Integer.MAX_VALUE)}}
> currently fails because the range of values is {{> Integer.MAX_VALUE}}.
