KIP-1213 — Deprecated the log.dir configuration
Discussion Broker
Deprecates the log.dir configuration (singular) in favor of the already-existing log.dirs (plural), since KIP-1161 made log.dir a LIST-type config accepting comma-separated paths, making both settings functionally identical. Having two configurations with the same behavior causes confusion for operators and pollutes the configuration surface.
