> Currently the spark_ec2.py script only supports requesting slaves as spot 
> instances. Launching the master as a spot instance has potential cost 
> savings, at the risk of losing the Spark cluster without warning. Unless 
> users include logic for relaunching slaves when lost, it is usually the case 
> that all slaves are lost simultaneously. Thus, for jobs which do not require 
> resilience to losing spot instances, being able to launch the master as a 
> spot instance saves money.
