The Get/PutAWSIoT processors read and overwrite mqttClient many times
without a read/write lock, this can lead to problems in multi-threaded
scenarios. For example, the both processors call
"AbstractAWSIoTProcessor.connect()" when the connection is about to expire.
When a processor is running with more than one thread, multiple will
potentially enter that method and attempt to reconnect the client.
