I need to some custom operations on AMI like privileges, mounting
drives with specific names, used by my scripts.

Don't want to mix them with existing whirr functions, as it will make
it hard to maintain and migrate them.

To add a new function would need code change, as script names are
hardcoded inside HadoopClusterActionHandler

Bootstrap would be a cleaner way to do this, rather than using user-data.

Is there any limitation that i should be aware of. Using bootstrap
way, I shall be able to execute script on instances, right before
Hadoop goes live :)
