Generating random data for testing (where you generally want data to be "interesting" but you don't need high statistical quality) is not the same thing as providing random generation facilities for production (where you generally want data to have guaranteed statistical properties, such as: uniform/normal/etc., with certain parameters). So, for the purposes of testing PyArrow, I think we could expose the C++ `RandomArrayGenerator` in Python. (but I'm also not sure why requiring NumPy for testing is a problem, can someone elaborate?) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
