Patrick McFadin bac42412e3 Clarify keyspace-level index name uniqueness in warning admonition
The original second sentence implied per-table scope, which contradicted
the first sentence. Replaced with explicit keyspace-scope wording and
removed the redundant vector/non-vector qualifier.

Apache Cassandra documentation directory

This directory contains the documentation maintained in-tree for Apache Cassandra. This directory contains the following documents:

  • The source of the official Cassandra documentation, in the source/modules subdirectory. See below for more details on how to edit/build that documentation.
  • The specification(s) for the supported versions of native transport protocol.

Official documentation

The source for the official documentation for Apache Cassandra can be found in the modules/cassandra/pages subdirectory. The documentation uses antora and is thus written in asciidoc.

The antora.yml file is auto-generated and should not be manually edited. It is generated from the version in build.xml using scripts/gen-antora-yml.py and automatically detects whether building from a release tag or branch HEAD to set the appropriate version.

To generate the asciidoc files (including antora.yml) for cassandra.yaml and the nodetool commands, run (from project root):

ant gen-asciidoc

or (from this directory):

make gen-asciidoc

(The following has not yet been implemented, for now see the build instructions in the cassandra-website repo.) To build the documentation, run (from project root):

ant gen-doc

or (from this directory):

make html
