KAFKA-1851 Using random file names for local kdc files to avoid conflicts. I originally tried to solve the problem by using tempfile, and creating and using scp() utility method that created a random local temp file every time it was called. However, it required passing miniKdc object to SecurityConfig setup_node which looked very invasive, since many tests use this method. Here is the PR for that, which I think we will close: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/609 This change is the least invasive change to solve conflicts between multiple tests jobs.
