Thanks @erikdw for clarifying that. I was assuming that it must be a bad
coding practice to have same name for a method as well as variable. Even
`taskPrefix` is a method as well as variable name in
[KafkaUtils.java](https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/a4afacd9617d620f50cf026fc599821f7ac25c79/external/storm-kafka/src/jvm/org/apache/storm/kafka/KafkaUtils.java#L281).
