Creating a single element int array (once per every record!) actually reduces the throughput by about 10%-20% (tested during one of the hackathons). Please revert to using `copyFromSerializerToTargetChannel(rng.nextInt(numChannels))` ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
