Yes, I am launching a cluster with the spark_ec2 script. I checked
/root/spark/conf/spark-env.sh on the master node and on slaves and it looks
like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
> export SPARK_LOCAL_DIRS="/mnt/spark"
> # Standalone cluster options
> export SPARK_MASTER_OPTS=""
> export SPARK_WORKER_INSTANCES=1
> export SPARK_WORKER_CORES=1
> export HADOOP_HOME="/root/ephemeral-hdfs"
> export SPARK_MASTER_IP=ec2-54-89-95-238.compute-1.amazonaws.com
> export MASTER=`cat /root/spark-ec2/cluster-url`
> export
> SPARK_SUBMIT_LIBRARY_PATH="$SPARK_SUBMIT_LIBRARY_PATH:/root/ephemeral-hdfs/lib/native/"
> export
> SPARK_SUBMIT_CLASSPATH="$SPARK_CLASSPATH:$SPARK_SUBMIT_CLASSPATH:/root/ephemeral-hdfs/conf"
> # Bind Spark's web UIs to this machine's public EC2 hostname:

None of these variables seem to be related to memory size. Let me know if I
am missing something.
