> Calling {{getBlockLocations}} on files that have a PROVIDED replica, results
> in the datanode locations being selected at random. Currently, this
> randomization uses the datanode uuids to pick a node at random
> ({{ProvidedDescriptor#choose}}, {{ProvidedDescriptor#chooseRandom}}).
> Depending on the distribution of the datanode UUIDs, this can lead to large
> number of iterations (which may not terminate) before a location is chosen.
> This JIRA aims to replace this with a more efficient randomization strategy.
