+API Reference
+=============
+
+Operators
+---------
+Operators allow for generation of certain types of tasks that become nodes in
+the DAG when instantiated. All operators derive from :class:`~airflow.models.BaseOperator` and
+inherit many attributes and methods that way.
+
+There are 3 main types of operators:
+
+- Operators that performs an **action**, or tell another system to
+  perform an action
+- **Transfer** operators move data from one system to another
+- **Sensors** are a certain type of operator that will keep running until a
+  certain criterion is met. Examples include a specific file landing in HDFS or
+  S3, a partition appearing in Hive, or a specific time of the day. Sensors
+  are derived from :class:`~airflow.sensors.base_sensor_operator.BaseSensorOperator` and run a poke
+  method at a specified :attr:`~airflow.sensors.base_sensor_operator.BaseSensorOperator.poke_interval` until it returns ``True``.
+
+BaseOperator
+''''''''''''
+All operators are derived from :class:`~airflow.models.BaseOperator` and acquire much
+functionality through inheritance. Since this is the core of the engine,
+it's worth taking the time to understand the parameters of :class:`~airflow.models.BaseOperator`
+to understand the primitive features that can be leveraged in your
+DAGs.
+
+BaseSensorOperator
+''''''''''''''''''
+All sensors are derived from :class:`~airflow.sensors.base_sensor_operator.BaseSensorOperator`. All sensors inherit
+the :attr:`~airflow.sensors.base_sensor_operator.BaseSensorOperator.timeout` and :attr:`~airflow.sensors.base_sensor_operator.BaseSensorOperator.poke_interval` on top of the :class:`~airflow.models.BaseOperator`
+attributes.
+
+Operators packages
+''''''''''''''''''
+All operators are in the following packages:
+
+.. toctree::
+  :includehidden:
+  :glob:
+  :maxdepth: 1
+
+  airflow/operators/index
+
+  airflow/sensors/index
+
+  airflow/contrib/operators/index
+
+  airflow/contrib/sensors/index
+
+
+Hooks
+-----
+Hooks are interfaces to external platforms and databases, implementing a common
+interface when possible and acting as building blocks for operators. All hooks
+are derived from :class:`~airflow.hooks.base_hook.BaseHook`.
+
+Hooks packages
+''''''''''''''
+All hooks are in the following packages:
+
+.. toctree::

+  :glob:

+
+  airflow/hooks/index
+
+  airflow/contrib/hooks/index
+
+
+Executors
+---------
+Executors are the mechanism by which task instances get run. All executors are
+derived from :class:`~airflow.executors.base_executor.BaseExecutor`.
+
+Executors packages
+''''''''''''''''''
+All executors are in the following packages:
+
+.. toctree::
+  :includehidden:
+  :glob:

+

+
+
+Models
+------
+
+Models are built on top of the SQLAlchemy ORM Base class, and instances are
+persisted in the database.
+
+.. toctree::
+  :includehidden:
+  :glob:
+  :maxdepth: 1

+
+Core and community package
+--------------------------
+Formerly the core code was maintained by the original creators - Airbnb. The code
+that was in the contrib package was supported by the community. The project
+was passed to the Apache community and currently the entire code is
+maintained by the community, so now the division has no justification,
+and it is only due to historical reasons. Currently, all new classes are
+added only to the contrib package.
