Description

While working on other tickets we noticed a few tests from TopPartitionTest are flaky on 4.1. 

Example run with the CircleCI multiplexer: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/adelapena/cassandra?branch=flaky_top_partitions_test_4.1&filter=all

I haven't seen those in Jenkins though.
