### Details

A little change, replace `Random` with `ThreadLocalRandom` .

Use of ThreadLocalRandom rather than shared Random objects in concurrent 
programs will typically encounter much less overhead and contention.

Use of ThreadLocalRandom is particularly appropriate when multiple tasks .

### Benchmark

There are some attentions need to be noticed before benchmark.

1. third-party dependency need use carefully.
2. bugs fix need to trace from upstream repository.
3. performance benchmark

I have compared the three cases : `Random`,`ThreadLocalRandom` from JDK, 
`ThreadLocalRandom` from netty.

```
@BenchmarkMode({Mode.AverageTime})
@OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS)
@Warmup(iterations = 3, time = 5)
@Measurement(iterations = 3, time = 5)
@Threads(50)
@Fork(1)
@State(Scope.Benchmark)
public class RandomBenchmark {

    Random random = new Random();

    @Benchmark
    public int random() {
        return random.nextInt();
    }

    @Benchmark
    public int threadLocalRandom() {
        return ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt();
    }

    @Benchmark
    public int nettyThreadLocalRandom() {
        return io.netty.util.internal.ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws RunnerException {
        Options opt = new OptionsBuilder()
                .include(RandomBenchmark.class.getSimpleName())
                .build();

        new Runner(opt).run();
    }

}
```
and below is our benchmark result under 50 concurrency
```
Benchmark                               Mode  Cnt     Score      Error  Units
RandomBenchmark.nettyThreadLocalRandom  avgt    3   160.321 ±   83.518  ns/op
RandomBenchmark.random                  avgt    3  3281.972 ± 2093.187  ns/op
RandomBenchmark.threadLocalRandom       avgt    3    91.505 ±   39.702  ns/op
```

From the result we can know the truth
> Both the performance (according to above benchmark) and the stability(it is 
> from the JDK)
> JDK 's ThreadLocalRandom looks good.
