>
> There are more REST API being developed in Hadoop, and it would be great to
> standardize on the method of generate REST API document.
> There are several method done today:
> Swagger YAML
> Javadoc
> Wiki pages
> JIRA comments
> The most frequently used method is JIRA comments and Wiki pages. Both
> methods are prone to data loss through passage of time. We will need a more
> effortless approach to maintain REST API documentation. Swagger YAML can
> also be out of sync with reality, if new methods are added to java code
> directly. Javadoc annotation seems like a good approach to maintain REST API
> document. Both Jersey and Atlassian community has maven plugin to help
> generating REST API document, but those maven plugins have ceased to
> function. After searching online for REST API documentation for a bit,
> [apidoc|http://apidocjs.com/] is one library that stand out. This could be
> the ideal approach to manage Hadoop REST API document. It supports javadoc
> like annotations, and generate beautiful schema changes documentation.
> If this is accepted, I will add apidoc installation to dev-support
> Dockerfile, and pom.xml changes for javadoc plugin to ignore the custom tags.
