Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HDFS-6615:
-------------------------------------------
+1 for doing this. We need to wait until the branch merge if we want to target
this on trunk directly.
> Replace java.security.SecureRandom with
> org.apache.hadoop.crypto.random.SecureRandom in HDFS

> In java, {{SecureRandom}} is slow and is *pseudo* random bytes.
> In HADOOP-10734, we implement *true* secure random using hardware random
> number generator, it has high performance about 22x speedup.
> If the server doesn't support rdrand, use java {{SecureRandom}} as fallback.
