    Description

      The kafka-run-class.sh script currently generates a LOG_DIR variable and expects the path under base_dir/logs to be writeable by the process, without a way of overriding it.

      I think a simple change as below would allow ops folks to fire it up and point the LOG_DIR elsewhere, as desired.
