defining random state or seed option parameters

[VHRanger]

Thanks.

Are you looking at node2vec specifically? I agree that all the algorithms should support it, however. For Node2vec we'd have to manually seed for the random walks, and once again on when training the network. I don't think it would be too much work to do.

Seems like the seeding has to be wrapped by numba jit code, see this issue: numba/numba#6002

(Random walks are numba-jitted)

The long term fix will be in the CSRGraphs package as well

Having looked deeper into it, this is more complex than it seems - we use numba.prange in loops for threading, so setting a numba seed before the multithreaded loop doesn't guarantee replicable results.

It's seemingly unresolved on the numba side; see this issue:

numba/numba#4452
