Description

Javadocs and Pydocs are generated for the website at every release, and the generated content gets committed to the git repository in order to publish via the githubpubsub publishing mechanism. Keeping all of this generated content in git is cumbersome and seems unnecessary. Alternatives exist, for example the Flink project uses a buildbot job to build and publish their javadocs:

https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.5/

The buildbot configuration is here (requires committer access):

https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/buildbot/aegis/buildmaster/master1/projects/flink.conf
