Adrian Cole commented on WHIRR-167:
-----------------------------------
I think the problem in your stacktrace probably applies to jclouds master. we
have a place we can test this. Do you mind filing a bug?

you may also want to watch this issue, which is very much related:

wrt the keys: I wouldn't worry about them. The keys are only used to install
your keypair, so deleting them doesn't matter.
wrt stub testing: it isn't very easy to stub something that requires a concert
of scripts That said, here's what we use:

I hope this helps!

> Actually it is very unstable the cluster startup process on Amazon EC2
> instances. How the number of nodes to be started up is increasing the startup
> process it fails more often. But sometimes even 2-3 nodes startup process
> fails. We don't know how many number of instance startup is going on at the
> same time at Amazon side when it fails or when it successfully starting up.
> The only think I see is that when I am starting around 10 nodes, the
> statistics of failing nodes are higher then with smaller number of nodes and
> is not direct proportional with the number of nodes, looks like it is
> exponentialy higher probability to fail some nodes.
> Lookint into BootstrapCluterAction.java, there is a note "// TODO: Check for
> RunNodesException and don't bail out if only a few " which indicated the
> current unreliable startup process. So we should improve it.
> We could add a "max percent failure" property (per instance template), so
> that if the number failures exceeded this value the whole cluster fails to
> launch and is shutdown. For the master node the value would be 100%, but for
> datanodes it would be more like 75%. (Tom White also mentioned in an email).
> Let's discuss if there are any other requirements to this improvement.
