Oleksii Mandrychenko updated SPARK-6935: ---------------------------------------- Description: I want to start a cluster where I give beefy AWS instances to slaves, such as memory-optimised R3, but master is not really performing much number crunching work. So it is a waste to allocate a powerful instance for master, where a regular one would suffice. Suggested syntax: {code} sh spark-ec2 --instance-type-slave=<instance_type> # applies to slaves only --instance-type-master=<instance_type> # applies to master only --instance-type=<instance_type> # default, applies to both # in real world sh spark-ec2 --instance-type-slave=r3.2xlarge --instance-type-master=c3.xlarge {code} was: I want to start a cluster where I give beefy AWS instances to slaves, such as memory-optimised R3, but master is not really performing much number crunching work.
