Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-6403:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: Apache Spark
> Launch master as spot instance on EC2
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-6403
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6403
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: EC2
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1
> Reporter: Adam Vogel
> Assignee: Apache Spark
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently the spark_ec2.py script only supports requesting slaves as spot
> instances. Launching the master as a spot instance has potential cost
> savings, at the risk of losing the Spark cluster without warning. Unless
> users include logic for relaunching slaves when lost, it is usually the case
> that all slaves are lost simultaneously. Thus, for jobs which do not require
> resilience to losing spot instances, being able to launch the master as a
> spot instance saves money.
