hi,

i trying edit mapred-site.xml file below configuration entries keep receiving error: -su: syntax error near unexpected token `<'

thank help, michal.

it seems trying run following section on linux shell:

<configuration> <property> <name>mapreduce.jobtracker.address</name> <value>local</value> </property> </configuration>

which gives error: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `<'.

to edit file in linux, can use nano text editor. if don't have installed can install by:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nano

after that, open mapred-site.xml file that:

sudo nano /path/to/mapred-site.xml

edit text want, , click ctrl + o => click enter , click ctrl + x exit text editor.
