    - shift right a space(haha,original code is also not alignment)
    - according to [ZOOKEEPER-1990](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1990)
       >    the goal here is to make sure that when multiple client threads start at the same time on the same machine 
             (such as in our systest) and execute this line each one is likely to have a different random seed.
    - your demo is not convincing because different client have different values of `this.hashCode()`(different instances) although the elements in inetSocketAddressesList is same. Look at my [demo](https://github.com/maoling/fuck_zookeeper/blob/master/src/java/test/com/apache/zookeeper/self/ZOOKEEPER_2840.java)
