Hi, Currently, we upload all figures to github's issues to get a public URL and use it in our markdown files. The question is, it is hard to maintain the figures, and, the URL is *.githubusercontent.com/*, which maybe can not be accessed in China.
Besides, we are using compiled thrift binary from https://github.com/jt2594838/mvn-thrift-compiler/. Though it is compiled by our committer Tian Jiang, it is a personal repo and may get suspected by users. Therefore, I'd like to apply for creating a new repo, apache/iotdb-resources to collect all these files. The repo can be as a git submodule of iotdb, and so that all figures can be used as a relative path in markdowns. As a result, the figures will be compiled as local files for our website (i.e., all figures' URL are iotdb.apache.org/* rather than githubusercontent.com/*). thrift compiler will also be download from apache/iotdb-resources, which will convincing users and is more controllable. Why not upload these resources directly to apache/iotdb: for controlling the size of iotdb's repo.
