> During one of the discussions on kafka-dev mailing list, a point was raised
> that the current /tmp/kafka-logs default path for storing the Kafka data
> wasn't probably a good idea and instead we should default it to a relative
> path within the Kafka installation directory:
> {quote}
> Having a relative path and keeping data under /data in the kafka distro
> would make sense. This would require some reworking of the shell scripts,
> though, as I think right now you an actually run Kafka from any directory
> and the cwd of the process will be whatever directory you start from. If we
> have a relative path in the config then the working directory will HAVE to
> be the kafka directory. This works for the simple download case but may
> making some packaging stuff harder for other use cases.
