Mike Drob commented on HBASE-19164:
-----------------------------------
It's probably sufficient to use something like {{Random.nextLong}} and check
for collisions.
> Avoid UUID.randomUUID in tests

> Key: HBASE-19164
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19164
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: test
> Reporter: Mike Drob
> Priority: Major
> Labels: beginner
>
> We have a lot of places in our test code where we use {{UUID.randomUUID}} to
> generate table names or paths for uniqueness. Unfortunately, this uses up a
> good chunk of system entropy, since Sun chose that random UUID's should use
> the NativePRNGBlocking implementation.
> We don't need to block on entropy for random bits to pick a random table name
> in a test, so we can use something that doesn't strain the system too much -
> secure random can be a source of problems on some VM or containers.
