--------------------------------------

             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'.
