-----------------------------

             Summary: storm should permit storing configuration, logs outside of the release dir
                 Key: STORM-92
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-92
             Project: Apache Storm (Incubating)
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: James Xu
            Priority: Minor


https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/issues/432

the bin/storm script enforces a requirement that logs and conf be in the release directory itself.

It's quite common for sysadmins to require that logs be sent to different file systems, that configuration be managed separately from software installs, and that one software install be usable with multiple configurations, either on the same host, or when provided by a network file system.

One can hack around this by supplying symlinks for logs and conf, but allowing users to specify the location of these directories seems a tad more elegant.

I can write this up if a PR is likely to be accepted.
