---------------------------------------------

The above PR was just referenced incorrectly - had nothing to do with this 
issue.

> Allow an ability to specify seeding for random methods such as coin, sample

>             Project: TinkerPop
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: process
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.3

>            Priority: Minor

> Currently, all the methods that have non-deterministic behavior such as coin 
> and sample have no ability to set a seed. The ability to set a seed will 
> allow for reproducible and testable behavior as well as more control flow for 
> random processes. If a certain backend does not support seeding, they could 
> simply ignore it. Some possible API changes:
> graph.traversal.V().withSeed(2L).coin(.5)
> graph.traversal.V().sample(3, 0L)
