Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-11031:
----------------------------------------
Darn, I cannot find a way to make Markdown hyperlink straight to the
{{getPassword}} method. It doesn't like the parentheses nested in the URL.
file:///private/tmp/hadoop-site/hadoop-project/api/org/apache/hadoop/conf/Configuration.html#getPassword(java.lang.String)
I tried all sorts of crazy escaping and even URL-encoding the parens, but
nothing worked.
It appears we've struggled with this before. The WebHDFS documentation has
taken the approach of only linking to the top-level class and not the
individual method. For example, see the link to FileSystem.create here:
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.2/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html#Create_and_Write_to_a_File
I guess we could switch to that style so that it's consistent. The Markdown
would look like this:
{code}
[Configuration](../../api/org/apache/hadoop/conf/Configuration.html).getPassword
{code}
I'll be +1 after that change. Thank you, Larry!
