Sean Owen commented on SPARK-5629:
----------------------------------

Are all of the EC2 tickets becoming essentially "wont fix" as the support moves out of Spark itself?

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: EC2

> You can launch multiple clusters using spark-ec2. At some point, you might just want to get some information about an existing cluster.
> Use cases include:
> * Wanting to check something about your cluster in the EC2 web console.
> * Wanting to feed information about your cluster to another tool (e.g. as described in [SPARK-5627]).
> So, in addition to the [existing actions|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/9b746f380869b54d673e3758ca5e4475f76c864a/ec2/spark_ec2.py#L115]:
> * {{launch}}
> * {{destroy}}
> * {{login}}
> * {{stop}}
> * {{start}}
> * {{get-master}}
> * {{reboot-slaves}}
> We add a new action, {{describe}}, which describes an existing cluster if given a cluster name, and all clusters if not.
> Some examples:
> {code}
> # describes all clusters launched by spark-ec2
> spark-ec2 describe
> {code}
> {code}
> # describes cluster-1
> spark-ec2 describe cluster-1
> {code}
> In combination with the proposal in [SPARK-5627]:
> {code}
> # describes cluster-3 in a machine-readable way (e.g. JSON)
> spark-ec2 describe cluster-3 --machine-readable
> {code}
> Parallels in similar tools include:
> * [{{juju status}}|https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/] from Ubuntu Juju
> * [{{starcluster listclusters}}|http://star.mit.edu/cluster/docs/latest/manual/getting_started.html?highlight=listclusters#logging-into-a-worker-node] from MIT StarCluster
