Todd Lipcon updated HADOOP-7335:
--------------------------------
Attachment: hadoop-7335.txt
Here's a patch to pass that flag to tests.
I'd appreciate if someone can test this on Windows/OSX to make sure it doesn't
break their platforms.
> Force entropy to come from non-true random for tests

> Key: HADOOP-7335

> Passing the system property {{-Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom}}
> forces the JVM to seed its PRNG from non-true random (/dev/urandom) instead
> of the true random (/dev/random). This makes the tests run faster, since
> without it they often hang waiting for entropy while Jetty is initializing.
> We should turn this on for the test targets by default, so developers/hudson
> boxes don't have to make this change system-wide or use workarounds like
> rngtools.
