In the context of #4063, we need to have an access onto the internal state of the PRNG backing the instance of
Random
in order to be able to serialize it and recreate the "exact" same instance ofRandom
on destination (another worker thread).The current PR adds a
getState
method onRandom
.Adding it should be enough to fulfill the needs of #4063. But we will wait for it to be confirmed before releasing any minor version including that change.
