             Summary: Support SKIP_PYTHONDOC/RDOC in doc generation
                 Key: SPARK-18923
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18923
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build, Documentation
            Reporter: Dongjoon Hyun
            Priority: Minor


This issue aims to support `SKIP_PYTHONDOC` and `SKIP_RDOC` for documentation generation. Currently, we can use `SKIP_SCALADOC` or `SKIP_API`.

The reason is that the Spark documentation build uses a number of tools to build HTML docs and API docs in Scala, Python and R. Especially,

- Python API docs requires `sphinx`.
- R API docs requires `R` installation and `knitr` (and more others libraries).

In other words, we cannot generate Python API docs without R installation. Also, we cannot generate R API docs without Python `sphinx` installation.

If Spark provides `SKIP_PYTHONDOC` and `SKIP_RDOC` like `SKIP_SCALADOC`, it would be more convenient.
