EC2 contrib scripts

[Chris K Wensel <ch...@wensel.net>]

Hey all

I pushed up a patch (and tar) for the ec2 contrib scripts that provide  
support instance sizes, new zen kernels, availability zones,  
concurrent clusters, resizing, ganglia, etc.

the patch can be found here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2410

I use these daily, but it is likely wise for others to give them a  
shot to make sure they work for someone besides me.

Since I can't publish to the hadoop-images bucket, you will need to  
build your own image stored in your own bucket. This only takes a few  
minutes.

Feedback against the JIRA issue is best.

cheers,
ckw

make that xen kernels..

btw, they scale much better (see previous post) under heavy load. So  
now instead of timeouts and dropped connections, jvm instances exit  
prematurely. unsure of the cause of this just yet. but its so few, the  
impact is negligible.
