Nicholas Chammas resolved SPARK-6220.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Resolving this issue as won't fix since it is of low importance and can be
replaced by a few specific options for important EC2 features that are
currently missing.
> Allow extended EC2 options to be passed through spark-ec2
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-6220
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6220
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: EC2
> Reporter: Nicholas Chammas
> Priority: Minor
>
> There are many EC2 options exposed by the boto library that spark-ec2 uses.
> Over time, many of these EC2 options have been bubbled up here and there to
> become spark-ec2 options.
> Examples:
> * spot prices
> * placement groups
> * VPC, subnet, and security group assignments
> It's likely that more and more EC2 options will trickle up like this to
> become spark-ec2 options.
> While major options are well suited to this type of promotion, we should
> probably allow users to pass through EC2 options they want to use through
> spark-ec2 in some generic way.
> Let's add two options:
> * {{--ec2-instance-option}} ->
> [{{boto::run}}|http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#boto.ec2.image.Image.run]
> * {{--ec2-spot-instance-option}} ->
> [{{boto::request_spot_instances}}|http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#boto.ec2.connection.EC2Connection.request_spot_instances]
> Each option can be specified multiple times and is simply passed directly to
> the underlying boto call.
> For example:
> {code}
> spark-ec2 \
> ...
> --ec2-instance-option "instance_initiated_shutdown_behavior=terminate" \
> --ec2-instance-option "ebs_optimized=True"
> {code}
> I'm not sure about the exact syntax of the extended options, but something
> like this will do the trick as long as it can be made to pass the options
> correctly to boto in most cases.
> I followed the example of {{ssh}}, which supports multiple extended options
> similarly.
> {code}
> ssh -o LogLevel=ERROR -o UserKnowHostsFile=/dev/null ...
> {code}
