> We have a lot of places in our test code where we use {{UUID.randomUUID}} to generate table names or paths for uniqueness. Unfortunately, this uses up a good chunk of system entropy, since Sun chose that random UUID's should use the NativePRNGBlocking implementation.
> We don't need to block on entropy for random bits to pick a random table name in a test, so we can use something that doesn't strain the system too much - secure random can be a source of problems on some VM or containers.
