-----------------------------------
Chris,
Thanks for pointing that out. I can set the execute bit when the scripts are
committed. Apart from that, do the changes look OK?
> Improve configurability of Hadoop EC2 instances
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-4117
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4117
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: contrib/ec2
> Reporter: Tom White
> Assignee: Tom White
> Fix For: 0.19.0

> Attachments: hadoop-4117.patch

>
> Currently hadoop-site.xml for EC2 instances is stored as a part of the image
> and only a few properties can be controlled from the user scripts
> (compression, number of map/reduce tasks). Furthermore, it is not possible to
> rsync the configuration around the EC2 cluster with the current image, so the
> only way to customize the hadoop-site.xml file is to rebuild the image, which
> is time-consuming.
> It would be much better to pass the initialization script for nodes at boot
> time, so that it is easy to edit the configuration before starting a cluster.
