-----------------------------------------

[~michael.griffiths] - 
[{{wait_for_cluster_state}}|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/4b55482abf899c27da3d55401ad26b4e9247b327/ec2/spark_ec2.py#L634]
 will take any of the valid boto states, plus {{ssh-ready}}. {{ssh-ready}} is 
not a boto state, but rather a handy label for a relevant state that we want to 
wait for. {{spark-ec2}} manually checks for this state by testing SSH 
availability on each of the nodes in the cluster.

How are you invoking {{spark-ec2}}? Sometimes instances can take a few minutes 
before SSH becomes available. How long have you waited?

> Have spark-ec2 intelligently wait for specific cluster states

> {{spark-ec2}} currently has retry logic for when it tries to install stuff on 
> a cluster and for when it tries to destroy security groups. 
> It would be better to have some logic that allows {{spark-ec2}} to explicitly 
> wait for when all the nodes in a cluster it is working on have reached a 
> specific state.
> Examples:
> * Wait for all nodes to be up
> * Wait for all nodes to be up and accepting SSH connections (then start 
> installing stuff)
> * Wait for all nodes to be down
> * Wait for all nodes to be terminated (then delete the security groups)
> Having a function in the {{spark_ec2.py}} script that blocks until the 
> desired cluster state is reached would reduce the need for various retry 
> logic. It would probably also eliminate the need for the {{--wait}} parameter.
