* Renaming {{staticDataCleanup}} to {{resetSeedUniquifier}} and using that to
initialize from test.

> When RANDOM() value is used for grouping/distinct/etc, it breaks the
> mapreduce rule and can lead to redundant or missing records.
> Some discussion can be found in
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3257?focusedCommentId=13669195#comment-13669195
> We should make RANDOM less random so that it'll produce the same sequence of
> random values from the task retries.
