Interface RandomGenerable<T extends org.apache.commons.math3.random.RandomGenerator>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the RandomGenerator

public interface RandomGenerable<T extends org.apache.commons.math3.random.RandomGenerator>

A RandomGenerable provides deferred instantiation and initialization of a RandomGenerator. This allows pre-processing or discovery to be distributed and performed in parallel by Flink tasks.

A distributed PRNG is described by Matsumoto and Takuji in "Dynamic Creation of Pseudorandom Number Generators".
