Hi Naga,

Yarn] documentation ?

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.

"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.

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.
