KAFKA-2407: Only create log directory when it will be used
----
> Only create a log directory when it will be used
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-2407
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2407
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1
> Reporter: Grant Henke
> Assignee: Grant Henke
> Fix For: 0.8.3
>
>
> Currently kafka-run-class.sh will default the $LOG_DIR and create the
> directory regardless of it's use. This can cause permissions issues depending
> on what users are utilizing tools such as kafka-topics.sh.
> Further down in the script there is logic to detect whether $KAFKA_LOG4J_OPTS
> is set. If it is not set this is assumed to be a tool call and the script
> sets tools-log4j.properties which only uses the console appender. In this
> scenario a logging directory is not needed. In all other cases
> $KAFKA_LOG4J_OPTS will be set and we can move the $LOG_DIR defaulting &
> creation logic there. For example kafka-server-start.sh sets
> $KAFKA_LOG4J_OPTS to use its own log4j.properties file which respects the
> $LOG_DIR/kafka.log4j.dir setting.
