    Is the path of least resistance here just to provide a docker container 
with the right version of awk?

> We currently have three forms of documentation, with the following advantages 
> and disadvantages:
> || Docs || Pro || Con ||
> | CWiki | Easy to edit, no special tools required, don't have to be a 
> developer to contribute, google and wiki search | Not versioned, no review 
> process, distant from the code, obsolete content tends to accumulate |
> | Site | Versioned and reviewed, only committers can edit, google search | 
> Yet another arcane toolset must be learned, only web programmers feel 
> comfortable contributing, "asf-site" branch not related to code versions, 
> distant from the code, tends to go obsolete due to non-maintenance |
> | README.md | Versioned and reviewed, only committers can edit, tied to code 
> versions, highly local to the code being documented | Non-developers don't 
> know about them, may be scared by github, poor scoring in google search, no 
> high-level presentation |
> Various discussion threads indicate the developer community likes 
> README-based docs, and it's easy to see why from the above.  I propose this 
> extension to the README-based documentation, to address their disadvantages:
> # Produce a script that runs at build time and gathers the README.md files 
> from all code subdirectories into a hierarchical tree.  The script would have 
> an exclusion list for non-user-content, which at this point would consist of 
> \[site/\*, build_utils/\*\].  
> # Utilize standard toolsets to publish the hierarchical collection of .md 
> files as a "book", at least as far as the end user sees.  Put the web gateway 
> for this book in the public Metron Site, preferably with a "version" 
> pull-down menu that allows access to older versions too.
> # Deprecate the use of cwiki for anything but long-lived 
> demonstrations/tutorials that are unlikely to go obsolete.  Move appropriate 
> content from the cwiki into versioned .md files.
> Extensive email discussion of these ideas occurred in thread 
> https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-metron-dev/201701.mbox/%3c74a5a05b-b42d-482c-ae58-a0be06770...@apache.org%3E
