Alex updated FLINK-13102:
-------------------------
    Description: 
For some types of PRs, it's relatively easy to tell that the changes in a PR 
don't affect other parts of the system. Namely, it's documentation changes and 
maybe Web UI changes (although, the letter is not that frequently and regularly 
changes).

In such cases, it's possible to run more "lightweight" build steps, skipping 
the whole build and tests suite.

*Note* (from [~Zentol]): in that case, the check at least should run license 
checks.

The idea is that for documentation only changes, we can detect such PRs by 
testing that the list of changed files are only in {{docs/}} subdir (excluding 
{{docs/_includes/generated/}}). Detecting list of changed files during a Travis 
build is described in:
 * [https://twitter.com/keeskluskens/status/996005160089477120]
 * [https://reflectoring.io/skip-ci-build/]

*Additional improvement:* if we know that a PR is docs only change, we can also 
early run links checks during the on PR CI run (currently, such check is 
running after merge, by a scheduled run).

*Update:* after some prototyping and understanding how current build and tests 
are parallelized
