Line 58: // Currently not seeding it since we want a random behavior when 
running tests that restart tablet
       :   // servers.
> If we were seeding the random then we'd get events in the same order?
I don't understand what you're trying to say, but I'll try to make my point 
more clearly: even though you're not passing any arguments into the Random 
constructor, the PRNG inside it is still being seeded. From the Javadocs 
"Creates a new random number generator. This constructor sets the seed of the 
random number generator to a value very likely to be distinct from any other 
invocation of this constructor." My guess is it uses some combination of the 
current time and maybe a thread ID as the seed.

My point is: given this behavior, the comment here doesn't make sense, because 
we _are_ seeding the PRNG, we're just letting the JVM choose some arbitrary 
seed.
