Hey Vaibhav, Do you think any of your #2 would be generally useful for others and something we might fold into the public HBase EC2 scripts? I don't want to be presumptive, but let me kindly plant the idea...

EC2 (was: Re: [databasepro-48] HUG9) Andrew, Your point about scripts is right, we have done the following two things to address it: 1) Bundle our own images with HBase/Hadoop versions and configurations 2) We have written some scripts. Once the cluster is booted, all we have to specify what machines are slaves machines and what machine is the master. We have bundled config file templates in the images. The script makes a new config file from an template with the new internal dns names.
