------------------------------------------------------------
I agree, [~absingh]. I'm running some more tests and I think the best way to
handle this unlikely event is to catch it specifically, and then have it rerun
the entire test class *one* time, and noting this in the test log. This bug
does not affect the core Kafka code, and is simply exposed here because Kafka
has such great unit tests, and we just happen to run them A LOT for our
purposes. I'm proposing this solution instead of hunting and fixing the
underlying issue in choosePorts(), which when looking around at other projects
does seem like a decent implementation.
The probability of a test class failing twice in a row should be very low
(<0.0001%) and should result in any test class failure less than 1% of the time
`./gradlew test` is run.
Is this approach sound?
