Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-8983:
------------------------------------

If you wanna take a stab at implementing this (it can be fun) then its to add 
it to
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/language/simple/ast/SimpleFunctionExpression.java#L218

You need to do your own little ( ) parsing to see if there is 1 or 2 numbers 
provided.

Then add unit tests to 
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/camel-core/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/language/simple/SimpleTest.java#L1425

And I think the upper number should be exclusive so it works like the 
java.util.Random api
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Random.html#nextInt(int)

So if you want 0..9, then its random(10). And if you want 1..10, then its 
random(1,11)

> We be nice with a random function in simple so you can do random delays 
> during processor or whatnot
> {code}
> ${random(10)}
> {code}
> To return a random value between 0 and 9.
> And to do with range
> {code}
> ${random(10,20)}
> {code}
> To select a random number between 10 and 19.
> We may ponder a bit about the upper bound should be inclusive or exclusive?
