Sort of.. there were two separate issues, but both related to AWS.. I've sorted the confusion about the Master/Worker AMI ... use the version chosen by the scripts. (and use the right instance type so the script can choose wisely) But yes, one also needs a "launch machine" to kick off the cluster

2014-06-01 Thread Matei Zaharia
More specifically with the -a flag, you *can* set your own AMI, but you’ll need to base it off ours. This is because spark-ec2 assumes that some packages (e.g. java, Python 2.6) are already available on the AMI. Matei On Jun 1, 2014, at 11:01 AM, Patrick Wendell wrote: > Hey just to clarify t

Hey just to clarify this - my understanding is that the poster (Jeremey) was using a custom AMI to *launch* spark-ec2. I normally launch spark-ec2 from my laptop. And he was looking for an AMI that had a high enough version of python. Spark-ec2 itself has a flag "-a" that allows you to give a spec

*sigh* OK, I figured it out. (Thank you Nick, for the hint) "m1.large" works, (I swear I tested that earlier and had similar issues... ) It was my obsession with starting "r3.*large" instances. Clearly I hadn't patched the script in all the places.. which I think caused it to default to the Amazo

If you are explicitly specifying the AMI in your invocation of spark-ec2, may I suggest simply removing any explicit mention of AMI from your invocation? spark-ec2 automatically selects an appropriate AMI based on the specified instance type. 2014년 6월 1일 일요일, Nicholas Chammas님이 작성한 메시지: > Could y

It's been another day of spinning up dead clusters... I thought I'd finally worked out what everyone else knew - don't use the default AMI - but I've now run through all of the "official" quick-start linux releases and I'm none the wiser: Amazon Linux AMI 2014.03.1 - ami-7aba833f (64-bit) Provisi

Hi there, Patrick. Thanks for the reply... It wouldn't surprise me that AWS Ubuntu has Python 2.7. Ubuntu is cool like that. :-) Alas, the Amazon Linux AMI (2014.03.1) does not, and it's the very first one on the recommended instance list. (Ubuntu is #4, after Amazon, RedHat, SUSE) So, users such

Hi Jeremy, That's interesting, I don't think anyone has ever reported an issue running these scripts due to Python incompatibility, but they may require Python 2.7+. I regularly run them from the AWS Ubuntu 12.04 AMI... that might be a good place to start. But if there is a straightforward way to

Hi there! I'm relatively new to the list, so sorry if this is a repeat: I just wanted to mention there are still problems with the EC2 scripts. Basically, they don't work. First, if you run the scripts on Amazon's own suggested version of linux, they break because amazon installs Python2.6.9, and
