If this turns out to be a problem later, disabling the log cleaner thread
during tests is probably a better fix. The tests don't make logs long enough to
be compacted anyway.
> Storm-kafka tests leak resources due to retained references to KafkaServer

> Since JUnit keeps a reference to each test class until all tests for a module
> have run, the KafkaTestBroker fields are not eligible for garbage collection
> until all tests have run. KafkaTestBroker keeps a reference to
> KafkaServerStartable/KafkaServer, which allocates resources that are also not
> eligible for collection. This very quickly causes surefire to run out of
> memory if this class is used more than a few places.
