Because circular reference between JavaObject and JavaMember, an Java object can not be released until Python GC kick in, then it will cause memory leak in collect(), which may consume lots of memory in JVM.
This PR change the way we sending collected data back into Python from local file to socket, which could avoid any disk IO during collect, also avoid any referrers of Java object in Python.
