helk-elasticsearch
+ Updated main yml config to set most of the settings via environment variables via docker-compose
+ Trial docker-compose file now has ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD environment variable set/available. Trial Dockerfile was deleted since the elasticsearch_password update is now taken care of by the internal elasticsearch docker script that is comes with the official elasticsearch docker image.

++ auomated the way how the container checks for the kafka broker port availability. If the port is open, then it attempts to create kafka topics

helk-zookeeper
+ updated entrypoint to only set the main server config
