Benny Halevy dc9093303d snapshot: add table info and tablet_count to manifest.json
Add a table member to manifest.json with the keyspace_name,
table_name, table_id, tablets_type, and, for tablets-enabled tables, get
tablet_count on each shard and write the minimum to manifest.json.
For vnodes-based tables, tablet_count=0.

For now, `tablets_type` may be either `none` for vnodes tables, or
`powof2` for tablets tables.  In the future, when we support arbitrary
tablt boundaries, this will be reflected here, and it is likely we
would backup the whole tablets map sperately to get all tablet boundaries.

Fixes SCYLLADB-195

        :hidden:
    
        Page X </folder1/article1>
        Page Y </folder1/article2>
        Your New Page </folder1/your-new-article>

Building User Documentation

Prerequisites

  • Python
  • poetry
  • make

See the ScyllaDB Sphinx Theme prerequisites to check which versions of the above are currently required.

Mac OS X

You must have a working Homebrew in order to install the needed tools.

You also need the standard utility make.

Check if you have these two items with the following commands:

brew help
make -h

Linux Distributions

Building the user docs should work out of the box on most Linux distributions.

Windows

Use "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" for the same tools and capabilities as on Linux distributions.

Building the Docs

  1. Run make preview in the docs/ directory to build the documentation.
  2. Preview the built documentation locally at http://127.0.0.1:5500/.

Cleanup

You can clean up all the build products and auto-installed Python stuff with:

make pristine

If you are interested in contributing to Scylla docs, please read the Scylla open source page at http://www.scylladb.com/opensource/ and complete a Scylla contributor agreement if needed. We can only accept documentation pull requests if we have a contributor agreement on file for you.
