[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-1130) "log.dirs" is a confusing property name

David Arthur created KAFKA-1130:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: "log.dirs" is a confusing property name
                 Key: KAFKA-1130
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1130
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: config
    Affects Versions: 0.8
            Reporter: David Arthur
            Priority: Minor


"log.dirs" is a somewhat misleading config name. The term "log" comes from an internal Kafka class name, and shouldn't leak out into the public API (in this case, the config).

Something like "data.dirs" would be less confusing.
