[jira] [Created] (ASTERIXDB-1688) Functions for Random numbers

Ian Maxon created ASTERIXDB-1688:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Functions for Random numbers
                 Key: ASTERIXDB-1688
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-1688
             Project: Apache AsterixDB
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: AsterixDB, Functions - AQL
            Reporter: Michael J. Carey
            Priority: Minor


Functions for random numbers would be useful for a variety of purposes. The  issue with them versus other functions is the need for keeping track of and differentiating seed values between calls to the function between queries. A first strike at this problem could likely allow for just one seed per function call, while improvements could possibly allow for multiple calls in the same query to use different seed values entirely.
