[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-2215) Improve Randomness for ConsoleConsumer

Fabian Lange created KAFKA-2215:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Improve Randomness for ConsoleConsumer
                 Key: KAFKA-2215
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2215
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Fabian Lange


Right now the console consumer does a new Random().nextInt(100_000)
https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/core/src/main/scala/kafka/tools/ConsoleConsumer.scala#L123

I would propose to use UUID.randomUUID().toString() instead.

I know this is quite edgy, but Random has shown its quirks from time to time.
