Description

All views, tables, ks,... created in CQLTester are of the form table_00:

• While debugging tests and flakies this makes it really hard to match logs to test methods.
• Some async operations can spill log lines from a previous test method into the next's log lines which is incredibly confusing
• It's hard on the eyes and easy to mix up
• When comparing logs from 2 different branches, envs,... it's really hard to match logs

The proposed solution is for CQLTester to decorate these with the test name.
