Description

Samza doesn't compile with the new Kafka build:

 [ant:scalac] error: bad symbolic reference. A signature in Logging.class refers to term log4j
[ant:scalac] in package org.apache which is not available.
[ant:scalac] It may be completely missing from the current classpath, or the version on
[ant:scalac] the classpath might be incompatible with the version used when compiling Logging.class.

Seems some of the kafka class used in Samza now has a compile time dependency in log4j. Need to add it to build.gradle.
