Adrian Cole commented on WHIRR-286:
-----------------------------------
@andrei I think this is useful as a utility, even moreso if there was a
function to save the state of the cluster to a targz.
> Add CLI commands so that Whirr can be used as a minimal blob store client

> Project: Whirr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Andrei Savu
>
> I believe it would be helpful in many workflows if you could create and
> delete blobs just by using the Whirr CLI (data used for processing). I
> suggest that we should add new commands to the CLI so that Whirr can be used
> as minimal generic blob store client that's also aware of the location of the
> nodes (a typical mistake is to upload files to a different location).
> Workflow (common?):
> {noformat}
> $ whirr create-container --config.. --name data
> $ whirr upload-file --config.. --file local.tar.gz --container data --blob
> data.tar.gz
> $ whirr launch-cluster --config..
> # start a map reduce job and collect the results
> $ whirr download-file --config.. --file output.tar.gz --container data --blob
> output.tar.gz
> $ whirr destroy-cluster --config..
> $ whirr destroy-container --config.. --name data
> {noformat}
