Umesh Chaudhary commented on KAFKA-5114:
----------------------------------------
IMHO, it has a co-relation with the previous statement: *The partitions in the
log serve several purposes...*. So we described the log as data of the topic
and partitions of the logs would be partitions of the topic's data.
> Clarify meaning of logs in Introduction: Topics and Logs

> Key: KAFKA-5114
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5114
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Michael Ernest
> Priority: Minor
>
> The term log is ambiguous in this section:
> * To describe a partition as a 'structured commit log'
> * To describe a topic as a partitioned log
> Then there's this sentence under Distribution: "The partitions of the log are
> distributed over the servers in the Kafka cluster with each server handling
> data and requests for a share of the partitions"
> In that last sentence, replacing 'log' with 'topic' would be clearer.
