Subject: Re: [PATCH] member: fix PRNG seed reset in NitroSketch mode

Any comment?

> Sketch creation seeded the global PRNG
> using the supplied seed for hashing.
> The use of this seed by SKETCH set summary was not documented.
> SKETCH set summary does not require two independent hash seeds,
> unlike other set summary types.
> Seeding the global PRNG at sketch creation
> does not make the sketch operation deterministic:
> it uses rte_rand() later, the PRNG may be seeded again by that point.
> On the other hand, seeding the global PRNG with a hash seed,
> is likely undesired, because it may be low-entropy or even constant.
> Deterministic operation can be achieved by seeding the PRNG externally.
> 
> Remove the call to rte_srand() at sketch creation.
> Document that hash seeds are not used by SKETCH set summary type.
