Joshua McKenzie commented on CASSANDRA-9581:
--------------------------------------------
What are the implications for Windows?
{code:title=proposed build.xml changes}
<!-- The first time SecureRandom initializes can be slow if it blocks
on /dev/random -->
<jvmarg value="-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom" />
{code}
No /dev/urandom on the platform so I'm assuming this won't end well.
> pig-tests spend time waiting on /dev/random for SecureRandom

> We don't need secure random numbers (for unit tests) so waiting for entropy
> doesn't make much sense. Luckily Java makes it easy to point to /dev/urandom
> for entropy. It also transparently handles it correctly on Windows.
