Michael Ernest created KAFKA-5114: ------------------------------------- Summary: 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
