[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-7640) Private VPC with default Spark AMI
breaks yum
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7640?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14544051#comment-14544051 ]
Sean Owen commented on SPARK-7640:
----------------------------------
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6220
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6588
These and several other related issues might be relevant; some are resolved in the latest release.
I myself don't know if this is just too much an Amazon thing to be something Spark can work around.
> Private VPC with default Spark AMI breaks yum
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-7640
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7640
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: EC2
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0, 1.3.1
> Reporter: Brad Willard
> Priority: Minor
>
> If you create a spark cluster in a private vpc, the amazon yum repos return 403 permission denied because Amazon cannot discern the vms are in their datacenter. This makes it incredibly annoying to install things like python 2.7 and different compression libs or consider updating anything.
> Potential fixes:
> Add fedora yum repos on the default ami to ones outside of amazon.
> Change the ami to be based on a non amazon ami, like a standard red-hat one.
> Switch everything to support ec2-user like most modern aws amis to make it easier for the user to pick an ami
> Petition amazon to open up their repos.
> Failed Workaround:
> I attempted to use a normal red-hat ami, however the current deploy scripts assume the user and the install path are root. While the deploy script allows you to override the user, they don't work if you set ec2-user basically preventing you from using any current ami other than the default amazon one which is unfortunate.
