[jira] [Updated] (HUDI-336) Improve landing page related content on Hudi website

["Ethan Guo (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-336?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ethan Guo updated HUDI-336:
---------------------------
    Description: 
The landing page of [hudi.apache.org|https://hudi.apache.org/] shows detailed information about Hudi.  It would be good to show highlights of Hudi at the high level and other useful information (powered-by, slack group, etc) directly on the landing page.

 
h2. Redesigning landing page

The landing page should serve the following purposes, with as fewer words as possible
 # Answer what is Hudi
 # Provide insights into why someone should use Hudi (some answers in [FAQ|http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HUDI/FAQ])
 # Highlight key features
 # Have the link to the comparison page if the user would like to read more
 # Direct links/buttons to join the community

Here are the proposed changes corresponding to each item:
 # Simplify the existing content to 2-3 sentences, with a diagram showing the interoperability with existing data ecosystem
 # 3-4 sentences on why someone should use Hudi, with a link to the [FAQ|http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HUDI/FAQ]
 # Highlight a few key features, each one elaborated with the technical details in 2-3 sentences, something like the following (from this [set of slides|https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1FHhsvh70ZP6xXlHdVsAI0g__B_6Mpto5KQFlZ0b8-mM/edit#slide=id.g47544a2471_0_0] by Vinoth and Balaji)
E.g., "*Near real-time data ingestion to Cloud storage/DFS*: By carefully managing how data is laid out in storage & how it’s exposed to queries, Hudi is able to power a rich data ecosystem where external sources can be ingested in near real-time and made available for interactive SQL Engines like [Presto|https://prestodb.io/] & [Spark|https://spark.apache.org/sql/]"

 # Have a few sentences on the comparison against other solutions.  Have a link to the detailed comparison page.
 # Direct links for joining the slack group and mailing list.  Right now these links are in the community page and requires additional clicks and reading.

For the detailed comparison page, we could have an interactive table to compare Hudi with other solutions regarding different aspects (each aspect can be clickable to show detailed explanation):

The top menu bar on the landing page is still kept.
