Flume documentation layout should be refactored
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: FLUME-1122
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1122
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Arvind Prabhakar


Currently a full build of Flume generates documentation in the top-level 
flume-docs directory. This causes a lot of flume-docs directories to show up as 
untracked files in the version control after build:

{noformat}
$ svn stat
?       flume-docs
?       flume-ng-sdk/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-node/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-legacy-sources/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-legacy-sources/flume-thrift-source/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-legacy-sources/flume-avro-source/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-sinks/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-sinks/flume-irc-sink/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-sinks/flume-hdfs-sink/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-core/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-channels/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-channels/flume-file-channel/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-channels/flume-recoverable-memory-channel/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-channels/flume-jdbc-channel/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-clients/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-clients/flume-ng-log4jappender/flume-docs
?       flume-ng-dist/flume-docs
$
{noformat}

It would be better if the documentation was generated within the target 
direcatory (target/docs), and promoted to the top-level during the build of 
flume-ng-dist module. That way only the generated distribution will contain 
docs at the top level and not the rest of the workspace.
