 [KAA-598] Apache Storm integration & [KAA-597] Kafka log appender

Use cases:

➢ Storm:
○ Ingest real-time data from various devices and sensors into Apache Storm for distributed processing of streaming data.
○ Process collected data on the fly without delay.
➢ Kafka:
○ Integrate your application with external ones using the most popular distributed messaging system.
○ Provide ability to transfer telemetry data across a large number of nodes in secure and replicated way.

 Demonstration steps

1. Download and set up Storm server from Storm analytics bundle

2. Run Storm server and Kafka console consumer so we will see logs that comes from Kaa
3. Set up Kafka and Storm (Flume) log appenders
4. Run client application that generates and send logs to Kaa
