/**
 * Provides factory methods for producing reproducible sources of
 * randomness. Reproducible sources of randomness contribute to
 * reproducible tests. When running the Elasticsearch test suite, the
 * test runner will establish a global random seed accessible via the
 * system property "tests.seed". By seeding a random number generator
 * with this global seed, we ensure that instances of Random produced
 * with this class produce reproducible sources of randomness under
 * when running under the Elasticsearch test suite. Alternatively,
 * a reproducible source of randomness can be produced by providing a
 * setting a reproducible seed. When running the Elasticsearch server
 * process, non-reproducible sources of randomness are provided (unless
 * a setting is provided for a module that exposes a seed setting (e.g.,
 * NodeEnvironment#NODE_ID_SEED_SETTING)).
