Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-7979:
--------------------------------------------
The boxed {{Long}} is immutable, so you are creating more garbage by going down
this route. Plus, you might inadvertently send a 0 block ID, which is one
thing I wanted to avoid. Let's just use a primitive.
> Initialize block report IDs with a random number
