I like this idea for keeping binary deployment size down. I'm not sure
how to handle it for the tarballs, but we could certainly split the docs
out of the debian and rpm packages to add
cassandra-docs_<version>.{deb,rpm} packages, so they are installable
separately, if the user wants them. This is common when docs get large.
I suppose the same could be done for
apache-cassandra-docs-<version>,tar.gz, but I'm not sure about the
release policy part of things here. Needs research.
Please, open a JIRA on this as a packaging improvement.
Kind regards,
Michael

Hi
I've unpacked binary distribution & noticed that we ship many files in the
javadoc directory - more than 5 thousand files, that occupy 99Mb on disk
out of 149Mb for whole unpacked Cassandra.
If we look from practical standpoint - do we expect that people who run
Cassandra will use javadoc for any purpose? I know that it often contains
useful details about implementation, but if we talk about day-to-day work,
imho, these files aren't required, at least not on every machine that has
Cassandra on it.
Maybe we can generate a separate artifact for Javadoc files?
