Hey guys, when I look in the kafka documentation (https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/ <https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/>) the default log.dir for the kafka logs is /tmp.
Could someone please tell me why? Because if you don’t change this you probably get some issues regarding the tmp-file-cleaner process which is running on most of the nix-systems and deletes files under /tmp (e.g. older than 10 days which were not touched). We already had some problems and segment files where removed which caused kafka to crash. So we changed this configuration so something like /var/lib/kafka/data/… I didn’t find anyone else with this problem nor information regarding this. Best regards Marc
