> Tests in {{flink-end-to-end-tests/test-scripts}} directory are re-using the same Flink directory to configure and launch a Flink cluster for a test.
> As part of their setup steps, they may modify Flink config files (application config, logs config), the directory itself (e.g. by copying some jars into {{lib}} folder). Also, some tests involve using additional services (like spinning up Zookeper, Kafka and so on clusters).
> The corresponding clean up code (to stop services, to revert Flink directory to original state) is spread out and a little bit not well-structured. In particular
>  * the test runner itself reverts the Flink config (but doesn't revert other changes in Flink dir); 
>  * some tests use shell's {{trap}} on exit hook for clean up callback. Adding multiple of such callbacks in one test would result in non-proper test tear down.
> As the result, some tests may have left overs that may affect execution of next steps.
> The proposal is to introduce a helper method for using one global (per test run) {{trap}} hook that would enable adding multiple clean up callbacks. This should enable registering "resource" clean up callbacks in the same place where resource is used/launched.
> Optional improvement: make the test runner create a temporal copy of Flink directory and launch test using that temporal directory. After the test is done, the temporal directory would be removed.
