Hi Ognen/Mayur,

Thanks for the reply and it is good to know how easy it is to setup Spark
on AWS cluster.

My situation is a bit different from yours, our company already have a
cluster and it really doesn't make that much sense not to use them. That is
why I have been "going through" this. I really wish there are some
tutorials teaching you how to set up Spark Cluster on baremetal CDH cluster
or .. some way to tweak the CDH Spark distribution, so it is up to date.

Ognen, of course it will be very helpful if you can 'history | grep
spark... ' and document the work that you have done since you've already
made it!

Bin
