Since you are inlining the link, please remove the "footpage link" at the bottom of the page:
[onlineDocs]:https://docs.datastax.com/en/dsbulk/doc/

Also, couldn't we avoid hard-coding 1.9 in the URL? E.g. by using a "latest" redirect?

Regarding the /latest/ instead of /1.9.0/, that proposed scheme was objected to by a prior generation of doc leads. Something about customers assuming their version was the "latest" and complained to Support that they couldn't get a doc'd feature (introduced in a more recent release) to work. For the moment I'll need to hardcode the /1.9.0/ but you raise a fair point.

Yes will remove the [onlineDocs] reference from the footer. Thanks for spotting it.

I understand the customers objections. But in the present case, we are considering DSBulk's own in-tree README file. Moreover, the link is being described as "the most up-to-date documentation". If we hard-code 1.9.0 here, the README file and this description will become outdated as soon as we publish a 1.10 release. Are we sure this is what we want?
