Description

Goal is to break the strong coupling between Atlas components and Kafka. These dependencies include using server side libraries of Kafka (this couples the Scala version and other non-public interfaces of Kafka). Any code using server side libraries of Kafka should be refactored.

Since atlas webapp module uses the ShutdownableThread from core kafka, it should be refactored in a way to eliminate this dependency.
