It would be a rather large change to support two different directory
structures, one for logs and one for everything else. It is not impossible to
do, but it would add quite a bit of complexity to something that is already
more complex then I like.
I guess it comes down to how often do you and your customers access the
logs through the storm UI or some other automated log system vs how often you
access the logs by going to the box directly and reading them directly. For us
our clusters have grown large enough that very few people try to read the logs
directly. Finding the right node is such a pain that the added directly
structure is not something they have complained about.
Would having the worker-artifacts directory structure by default be under
`storm.log.dir` but also have a separate config be an acceptable solution?
This is a very simple change to make, vs trying to split the data.
