Its probably better to let the underlying language implementation take care of the default . This was easier to do with python as the default value for seed in random and numpy random is None.

In Scala/Java side it might mean propagating an Option or null(oh no!) down the chain until where the Random is constructed. But, looks like the convention in some other methods was to use System.nanoTime. So, followed that convention.

Conflict with overloaded method in sql.SchemaRDD.sample which also defines default params.
sample(fraction, withReplacement=false, seed=math.random)
Scala does not allow more than one overloaded to have default params. I believe the author intended to override the RDD.sample method and not overload it. So, changed it.

If backward compatible is important, 3 new method can be introduced (without default params) like this
sample(fraction)
sample(fraction, withReplacement)
sample(fraction, withReplacement, seed)

Added some tests for the scala RDD takeSample method.
