Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-1337:
-------------------------------------
I am not terribly familiar with the bootstrap actions. What I know is that they
are basically files in S3 that describe a few setup actions, sort of like a
chef recipe.
To run Flink on S3, one needs basically only to download Flink, unpack it, and
call the script to start the Flink session (if one wants a permanent cross-job
session)
The bootstrap action could do exactly that, trigger those three actions.

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: other
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Priority: Minor
>
> EMR offers bootstrap actions that prepare the cluster by installing
> additional components, etc..
> We can offer a Flink bootstrap action that downloads, unpacks, and configures
> Flink. It may optionally install libraries that we like to use (such as
> Python, BLAS/JBLAS, ...)
