@HeartSaVioR I agree that your approach. Can please add to the commit
message the SHA from the 1.x-branch that was the base for this overwrite, such
that one can trace it down in case it is necessary. Thanks.
I am not sure I am following when you mention compilation issues. I ran the
following git command, and there seems to be no code changes.
```
git diff upstream/1.x-branch external/storm-kafka-client/
diff --git a/external/storm-kafka-client/pom.xml
b/external/storm-kafka-client/pom.xml
