spark ec2 as non-root / any plan to improve that in the future ?
Hi,
Spark ec2 scripts are useful, but they install everything as root.
AFAIK, it's not a good practice ;-)
Why is it so ?
Should these scripts reserved for test/demo purposes, and not to be used for
a production system ?
Is it planned in some roadmap to improve that, or to replace ec2-scripts
with something else ?
Would it be difficult to change them to use a sudo-er instead ?

No plans to change that at the moment, but agreed it is against accepted
convention. It would be a lot of work to change the tool, change the AMIs,
and test everything. My suggestion is not to hold your breath for such a
change.
spark-ec2, as far as I understand, is not intended for spinning up
permanent or production infrastructure (though people may use it for those
purposes), so there isn't a big impetus to fix this kind of issue. It works
really well for what it was intended for: spinning up clusters for testing,
prototyping, and experimenting.
