             Summary: Executing scripts that invoke kafka-run-class.sh results in 'permission denied to create log dir' warning.
                 Key: KAFKA-2031
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2031
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: packaging
    Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
            Reporter: Manikandan Narayanaswamy
            Priority: Minor


Kafka-run-class.sh script expects LOG_DIR variable to be set, and if this variable is not set, it defaults log dir to $base_dir/logs. And in the event the executor of the script does not have the right permissions, it would lead to errors such as:
{noformat}
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/kafka/bin/../logs': Permission denied.
{noformat}

Proposing one way to make this more configurable is by introducing kafka-env.sh. Sourcing this file would export LOG_DIR and potentially other variables if need be.
