             Summary: Allow extended EC2 options to be passed through spark-ec2
                 Key: SPARK-6220
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6220
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: EC2
            Reporter: Nicholas Chammas
            Priority: Minor


There are many EC2 options exposed by the boto library that spark-ec2 uses. 

Over time, many of these EC2 options have been bubbled up here and there to 
become spark-ec2 options.

Examples:
* spot prices
* placement groups
* VPC, subnet, and security group assignments

It's likely that more and more EC2 options will trickle up like this to become 
spark-ec2 options.

While major options are well suited to this type of promotion, we should 
probably allow users to pass through EC2 options they want to use through 
spark-ec2 in some generic way.

Let's add two options:
* {{--ec2-instance-option}} -> 
[{{boto::run_instances}}|http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#boto.ec2.connection.EC2Connection.run_instances]
* {{--ec2-spot-instance-option}} -> 
[{{boto::request_spot_instances}}|http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#boto.ec2.connection.EC2Connection.request_spot_instances]

Each option can be specified multiple times and is simply passed directly to 
the underlying boto call.
