Description

The "Hadoop Services Whitelisting" section at http://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.0.0/AG_HadoopConfiguration.html says:

The value must follow the pattern [,]*=. Where = is the HOST:PORT of the Hadoop service (JobTracker, HDFS).

There are two problems here:

1. The twiki formatting is causing things to get lost; in the twiki file, it says:

   The value must follow the pattern =[<AUTHORITY>,]*=. Where =<AUTHORITY>= is the =HOST:PORT= of
   the Hadoop service (JobTracker, HDFS).

   which causes the "AUTHORITY" to disappear and makes this hard to read in the rendered version

2. The sentence itself is incorrect: * has no special meaning. It should either be a comma-separated list of HOST:PORT or a space/empty.
