Ross Tesiero created THRIFT-1989:
------------------------------------
Summary: Broken links/changed urls/misspellings and lack of
information
Key: THRIFT-1989
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1989
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Documentation
Components: Website
Reporter: Ross Tesiero
Priority: Minor
I am interesting in learning Thrift but there any many broken links, and links
which have misspellings and are pretty much blank.
1)From http://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl/
Under Examples: top bullet
CLICK ON ThriftTest.thrift used by the Thrift TestFramework
takes you to http://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl/test/ThriftTest.thrift
Result:
Not Found
The requested URL /docs/idl/test/ThriftTest.thrift was not found on this server.
2) same page, 2nd bullet under examples is also a dead link:
CLICK ON Thrift tutorial
takes you to http://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl/tutorial/
Not Found
The requested URL /docs/idl/tutorial/ was not found on this server.
3) same page, 3rd bullet under examples:
CLICK ON Facebook's fb303.thrift
takes you to: http://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl/contrib/fb303/if/fb303.thrift
Not Found
The requested URL /docs/idl/contrib/fb303/if/fb303.thrift was not found on this
server.
4) ON: http://thrift.apache.org/tutorial/java/
Misspellings:
Followed all prerequesets listed
And then pretty much nothing to use to learn Thrift with Java (page looks like
a blank template was pasted and left empty)
Prerequisites <then nothing listed>
Client<nothing shown but a blank line>
Server<nothing listed>
Additional Information<empty and not a link>
I believe I could find more issues as well. I am happy to assist as I am not
capable of being a code contributer.... yet. I listed this as minor rather
than trivial as I hold documentation to very high standards wherever I work.
Please let me know how I can assist or simply assist by finding and reporting
anything like broken links, missing content and misspellings. I am trying to
compare Thrift to Avro, GPB and straight JSON for a big data initiative.
Thank you,
Ross
