Lars Hofhansl commented on PHOENIX-1516:
----------------------------------------

[~giacomotaylor] and I just chatted. We think that it might best to start with 
a no-argument RAND() function that simply returns a new value per invocation.
That way we leave the option open to add an optional seed parameter later.
Getting the per-invocation with no seed vs. per-row with seed with a seed that 
spans rows semantic right will be hard in Phoenix.


> Add RANDOM built-in function

> I often find it useful to generate some rows with random data.
> Here's a simple RANDOM() function that we could use for that.
