Sean Owen commented on SPARK-4325:
----------------------------------

Cool, if it's just a grouping issue with no 'content' of its own, I suggest 
that the child issues be marked as sub-tasks. That seems like a fine convention.
If this is substantially its own issue with a few issues that represent related 
pieces of work, I think I'd just describe what this one is about and mark the 
others as related or contains. Or sub-tasks, hey. I guess the issue is just 
recording what the parent is or isn't about in relation to the children. Here 
it looked like there wasn't more to the parent.

> There are several optimizations we know we can make to [{{setup.sh}} | 
> https://github.com/mesos/spark-ec2/blob/v4/setup.sh] to make cluster launches 
> faster.
> There are also some improvements to the AMIs that will help a lot.
> Potential improvements:
> * Upgrade the Spark AMIs and pre-install tools like Ganglia on them. This 
> will reduce or eliminate SSH wait time and Ganglia init time.
> * Replace instances of {{download; rsync to rest of cluster}} with parallel 
> downloads on all nodes of the cluster.
> * Replace instances of 
>  {code}
> for node in $NODES; do
>   command
>   sleep 0.3
> done
> wait{code}
>  with simpler calls to {{pssh}}.
> * Remove the [linear backoff | 
> https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/b32734e12d5197bad26c080e529edd875604c6fb/ec2/spark_ec2.py#L665]
>  when we wait for SSH availability now that we are already waiting for EC2 
> status checks to clear before testing SSH.
