@indrc I think there is no contradiction between Stephan's comment and my
suggestion about 1. I stand by my point that this is a very common task and
there is no very special requirement in the random string that would really
require a new method. My initial suggestions `RandomStringUtils` and Flink's
`UUID` are both already available without adding another dependency and a
full-test search for `randomstring` in the project also gave some hits like
e.g. `StringUtil`, that could also be used or extended in a more general way
than putting our own algorithm in this particular place.
