There is some Javadoc present but most of the > "documentation" exists either in JIRA or in the default config files > themselves. > We should generate top down configuration and use guides for map/reduce and > HDFS. These should probably be in forest and accessible from the project > website (Javadoc isn't always approachable to our non-programmer audience). > Committers should look for user documentation before accepting patches. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
