That is interesting! I thought that each thread will read and repeat to use
the lines from the file one by one from the beginning.
Which line is being picked next? Is it randomized? or sequential?
If I have a file with 1000 lines, running 10 threads, does it mean that each
thread will use only 100 lines?
Is this scheme documented anywhere?
