Kevin Oliver commented on AVRO-355:
-----------------------------------

One proposal is to fix the seed to a constant for all runs. Another is to allow 
users to specify a value as a flag to the tool. I don't have a preference.

> io.Perf test harness uses different random number seeds for each run

>             Project: Avro
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: java
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
>            Reporter: Kevin Oliver
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Each java.math.Random that is created in io.Perf uses the default seed which 
> is based on the current time of your environment. This makes comparing two 
> different runs of the tool less comparable as it varies the number of 
> multi-byte variable length encoded numbers that are generated from run to 
> run.
