Compaction fails on Windows, workarounds for KAFKA-1194 known?

Hi all,

we are currently bitten by this bug 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1194 whereby Kafka on 
Windows cannot delete/compact the logs, because it has a file open while 
trying to rename it.

This does not work on Windows. Its fine on *nixes. But we're stuck with 
0.9 for now, so I wonder if there is a workaround known --- apart from 
letting the system completely settle, shut everything down and remove 
all logs.

Harald.
