Dustin Cote created MAPREDUCE-6567: -------------------------------------- Summary: mapreduce ACLs documentation shows incorrect syntax Key: MAPREDUCE-6567 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6567 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Bug Components: documentation Reporter: Dustin Cote Assignee: Dustin Cote Priority: Minor
The description of the mapreduce.job.acl-* in the mapred-default.xml shows the wrong syntax. {quote} For specifying a list of users and groups the format to use is "user1,user2 group1,group". If set to '*', it allows all users/groups to modify this job. {quote} This doesn't actually work. The syntax that does work: {quote} For specifying a list of users and groups the format to use is "user1,user2 group1,* group". If set to '*', it allows all users/groups to modify this job. {quote} The difference being that to make all members of a group have permissions for an ACL, the specification must be '* group' not just 'group'. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
