Change subject: IMPALA-3399: Add DITA Open Toolkit to build Impala user docs.
......................................................................


Patch Set 1:

> My feeling is that we need to clearly distinguish between the
 > native-toolchain as a system for building native dependencies from

 > a delivery mechanism.

I don't understand how this patch conflates them.

 > It's just

Agreed. And putting a JVM in them is a rabbit hole I'd rather not go down.

 > We need to have a JDK for the Impala build (which is not the system
 > JDK)

Not the system JDK? Why not?

 > Impala repository, which is the only step of the build now that

Is "it" dita-ot in this sentence?

 > I also think it would be a mistake to start treating the

I don't think adding dita-ot to impala-setup treats impala-setup as an 
essential. Anyone who already had dita-ot installed could presumably continue 
to use it.

 > What's the vision for the docs build? Will it be part of the Impala
 > source repoo?

Yes, the docs will be part of the Impala source repo.
