Jim Jagielski commented on KAFKA-3940:
--------------------------------------

In some places we do a dir.mkdirs() and check the return, and throw an error if 
it fails.

Assuming we want to standardize, should we continue w/ that format or should we 
convert all to using Files.createDirectory() (and a general IOException)? I 
don't think we should mix and match :) 

> Log should check the return value of dir.mkdirs()

> In Log.loadSegments(), we call dir.mkdirs() w/o checking the return value and 
> just assume the directory will exist after the call. However, if the 
> directory can't be created (e.g. due to no space), we will hit 
> NullPointerException in the next statement, which will be confusing.
