Nicholas Chammas updated SPARK-5629:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
You can launch multiple clusters using spark-ec2. At some point, you might just 
want to get some information about an existing cluster.

Use cases include:
* Wanting to check something about your cluster in the EC2 web console.
* Wanting to feed information about your cluster to another tool (e.g. as 
described in [SPARK-5627]).
  For example:

So, in addition to the [existing 
actions|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/9b746f380869b54d673e3758ca5e4475f76c864a/ec2/spark_ec2.py#L115]:
* {{launch}}
* {{destroy}}
* {{login}}
* {{stop}}
* {{start}}
* {{get-master}}
* {{reboot-slaves}}

We add a new action, {{describe}}, which describes an existing cluster if given 
a cluster name, and all clusters if not.

Parallels in similar tools include:
* [{{juju status}}|https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/] from Ubuntu Juju
* [{{starcluster 
listclusters}}|http://star.mit.edu/cluster/docs/latest/manual/getting_started.html?highlight=listclusters#logging-into-a-worker-node]
 from MIT StarCluster
