             Summary: Documentation on 
oozie.service.HadoopAccessorService.hadoop.configurations
                 Key: OOZIE-1706
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1706
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: docs
            Reporter: jay vyas


The current documentation for the 
**oozie.service.HadoopAccessorService.hadoop.configurations** parameter is 
difficult to understand : 

See the section in docs/src/site/twiki/AG_HadoopConfiguration.twiki as a 
reference.

- Its clear that it is meant to define configurations, but its **not** clear 
why the syntax requires commas, regular expressions, and other such complex 
features.  

- Also it references specific ports of machines, again why is this required if 
it is already referencing HADOOP_CONF_DIR which has files that define all 
hadoop configuration info, including services/ports ?

So I suggest two files be patched here:

1) a patch to improve comments around 
**oozie.service.HadoopAccessorService.hadoop.configurations** 
docs/src/site/twiki/AG_HadoopConfiguration.twiki which is more readable and 
accessible to oozie newcomers and fixed typos (although they are minor, this 
very complex parameter needs perfect documentation, IMO).

2) Updated comment in core/src/main/resources/oozie-default.xml (this is 
currently not too bad, although terse).
