Jon Zeolla updated METRON-348:
------------------------------
    Description: 
Metron's [bro-plugin-kafka](https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/tree/master/metron-sensors/bro-plugin-kafka) is missing an [important update](https://github.com/bro/bro-plugins/commit/b9f1f35415cb0db065348da0a5043a8353b4a0a8).

In this ticket I will merge the public bro/bro-plugins changes in with the recent local kerberos changes to the kafka plugin (METRON-812), and also fix the issue with non-thread safe errors.  This should get the bro package in a state where it can be directly migrated to be a bro package, and we can migrate away from using bro/bro-plugins and our local [bro-plugin-kafka](https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/tree/master/metron-sensors/bro-plugin-kafka) code.

I have opened a ticket with the bro devs in order to seek a long term resolution to this issue (https://github.com/bro/bro-plugins/issues/31).  

My suggestion was to have the bro team update the bro/bro-plugins repo to turn folders (plugins) into individual branches so that they could be referenced and updated easily in Metron and other projects as a submodule.  I was going to wait to hear back before filing a PR, but I'm not against a short term fix of simply updating kafka/src/KafkaWriter.cc and kafka/src/KafkaWriter.h.
