Nicholas Chammas updated SPARK-5668: ------------------------------------ Labels: starter (was: ) > spark_ec2.py region parameter could be either mandatory or its value displayed > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SPARK-5668 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5668 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: EC2 > Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0 > Reporter: Miguel Peralvo > Priority: Minor > Labels: starter > > If the region parameter is not specified when invoking spark-ec2 > (spark-ec2.py behind the scenes) it defaults to us-east-1. When the cluster > doesn't belong to that region, after showing the "Searching for existing > cluster Spark..." message, it causes an "ERROR: Could not find any existing > cluster" exception because it doesn't find you cluster in the default region. > As it doesn't tell you anything about the region, It can be a small headache > for new users. > In > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21171576/why-does-spark-ec2-fail-with-error-could-not-find-any-existing-cluster, > Dmitriy Selivanov explains it. > I propose that: > 1. Either we make the search message a little bit more informative with > something like "Searching for existing cluster Spark in region " + > opts.region. > 2. Or we remove the us-east-1 as default and make the --region parameter > mandatory. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
