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
