Hi Naga,
> 1. what and how are these *.vm files(format) used in Hadoop [Hdfs and Yarn] documentation ? > 2. Does vm files stand for velocity macro? Velocity macro is used for variable substitution as far as I know. For example:: --- YARN Timeline Server --- --- ${maven.build.timestamp} Though many of dosc uses APT format ( http://maven.apache.org/doxia/references/apt-format.html ), you can also use markdown. See hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/site/markdown for example. > 5. Are these documentation pages built if " -Pdocs " parameters are provided during "mvn install" ? If so which Pom is responsible for building the html files ? Basically how to modify and test the generated html files? Run "mvn site" to build site docs. Running "mvn site site:stage -DstagingDirectory=/var/www/html/hadoop-site" puts built docs to specifiled path. > 6. From earlier patches (ex : yarn 1696) i figured out that to add new page(in yarn documentation) we can add a *.vm file in "hadoop-yarn-project\hadoop-yarn\hadoop-yarn-site\src\site\apt" and make entry in "hadoop-project\src\site\site.xml" for the new page? Is that sufficient or anything else needs to be taken care? I think it is sufficient.
