             Summary: ThreadLocalRandom should be used in utility classes
                 Key: LANG-1254
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1254
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: John Mark
            Priority: Minor


I noticed that both {{RandomUtils}} and {{RandomStringUtils}} use a constant for the {{Random}} instance. The javadoc for [Random|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Random.html] indicates that [ThreadLocalRandom|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ThreadLocalRandom.html] should be used for performance in multithreaded designs. I would think that a public utility class would qualify as a multithreaded design and should therefore use {{ThreadLocalRandom}}
