Andrei Savu updated WHIRR-332:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.8.0
Let's tackle this for 0.8.0. Maybe we can also look into adding the ability to
use regular and spot instances at the same time (e.g. a Hadoop cluster with 50%
regular 50% spot - I know EMR can do this trick).
> Need to specify different instance size/type depending on role

> Key: WHIRR-332
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-332
> Project: Whirr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: service/hadoop
> Affects Versions: 0.5.0
> Reporter: Paul Baclace
> Fix For: 0.8.0
>
>
> When setting up Hadoop, whirr.hardware-id is used in the configuration to set
> a single instance size/type for both nn,jt and dn,tt roles, but there are
> workloads that benefit from having a different instance size/type for each
> role. This need is even greater for ensembles with Zookeeper and HBase.
> Without this, a small Whirr cluster underutilizes resources.
> whirr.hardware-id should be a used to set a default instance size/type, and
> variations like whirr.${role}.hardware-id could be used to set size/type more
> specifically. This is a simple, obvious, and easy to implement mechanism to
> provide this functionality.
