Description

The default value for 'state.dir' in a Kafka Streams application does not match what is specified in the Streams Developer Guide. 

The default value specified in code is "/tmp/kafka-streams" according to the StreamsConfig class, but the documentation specifies it as "/var/lib/kafka-streams".

https://kafka.apache.org/10/documentation/streams/developer-guide/config-streams#optional-configuration-parameters

This affects versions 0.11.0 and 1.0.0, and possibly others as well.
