Description

Digging into the test failures on storm-cassandra, I saw license of cassandra-unit is LGPL v3 by chance.

https://github.com/jsevellec/cassandra-unit

From http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html, the page describes that

LGPL-licensed works must not be included in Apache Products

We should get rid of cassandra-unit for now. Maybe we will make great lack of tests but license issue is more critical.
