More extensible cluster spec file format
----------------------------------------

                 Key: WHIRR-318
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-318
             Project: Whirr
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Andrei Savu


We are slowly getting to the point were our ability to improve Whirr will be 
limited by the cluster spec format. I'm opening this issue so that we can start 
to think about a new format that it's going to be more flexible. 

Some of the characteristics of the new format should be:
* low verbosity and easily editable using standard text editors. (e.g yaml)
* easy to parse using existing libraries (e.g. snakeyaml) 
* should allow values to be overridden as CLI parameters (e.g yaml 
liniarization - elasticsearch is doing this).
