@dorx I tried `import pyspark.mllib.random` and it failed. It has to be
`from pyspark.mllib import random`. And to use `RandomRDDGenerators`, I need to
call `random.RandomRDDGenerators`. Ideally, it should be `from
pyspark.mllib.random import RandomRDDGenerators`. If we know how to handle the
name `random` now, maybe we can create `random.py` under `mllib` and define
class `RandomRDDGenerators` there. If it is not easy to do that because of
python's own `random` package, it should be fine to rename the package name to
`rand` in both Python and Scala.
