------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove HCatalog documentation from Hive git repo
Key: HIVE-28156
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-28156
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Task
Components: HCatalog
Affects Versions: 4.0.0-beta-1
Reporter: Stamatis Zampetakis
Assignee: Stamatis Zampetakis
The HCatalog documentation has been migrated to the [Hive
wiki|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog] a long time ago
(HIVE-4993, HIVE-4994). However, the source files and the website generation
properties were left in the Hive repo and they are still present under
[hcatalog/src/docs|https://github.com/apache/hive/tree/c26c25df5963108cd3c4921675e4b67a7f0401fd/hcatalog/src/docs]
directory.
Ever since HIVE-4993, the docs directory is obsolete and all updates in the
documentation are performed directly in the wiki (e.g., HIVE-4590, HIVE-1770).
The presence of the docs directory in the git repo adds maintenance overhead
and confusion with respect to how the HCatalog documentation is updated.
Moreover, it adds extra burden to ASF releases since it currently becomes part
of the source code distribution.
