> Allow spark_ec2.py to copy arbitrary files to cluster via deploy.generic
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: SPARK-5641
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5641
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: EC2
>            Reporter: Florian Verhein
>            Priority: Minor

> Useful if binary files need to be uploaded. E.g. I use this for rpm transfer 
> to install extra stuff at cluster deployment time.
> However note that it could also be used to override either:
> - what's on the image
> - what gets cloned from spark-ec2 (since deploy_files runs afterwards)
> The idea is that the user can just dump the files into ec2/deploy.generic/. 
> This can be implemented by modifying deploy_files so that it simply copies 
> the file (if it is of certain types), rather than treating it as a text file 
> and attempting to replace template variables.
> Detecting binary files is non-trivial. So the proposal is to have a list of 
> file extensions that will trigger simple file copying.
