    Description

      We've put together roots of current documentation system more then 3 years ago for our first 1.99.1 cut of Sqoop 2. We've only incrementally added few pages since then. I recently looked into the docs more carefully as I wanted to improve HDFS connector and I would like to propose quite huge overhaul - few of the things that immediately came to my mind:

      • I'm really missing a table of context on each page to navigate though the entire documentation suite (in some side menu or something)
      • On any formatting error, we print out exception to the documentation and won't fail the build.
      • We build the docs in all profiles, even though that it make sense only for binary profile.
      • The connector docs are really, really old - bunch of newly added arguments are not mentioned there.
      • In terms of connectors - it seems to me that the docs are focusing on dev rather then end user, so I would like to add more context there.
