For those who found that absolute vs. relative path for the pem file mattered, what OS and shell are you using? What version of Spark are you using?
~/ vs. absolute path shouldn’t matter. Your shell will expand the ~/ to the absolute path before sending it to spark-ec2. (i.e. tilde expansion.) Absolute vs. relative path (e.g. ../../path/to/pem) also shouldn’t matter, since we fixed that for Spark 1.2.0 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4137>. Maybe there’s some case that we missed?
