moving ec2 to a larger size

["Periya.Data" <pe...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,
    Is there a way in Whirr to increase the size of each node in the
cluster...say from t1.micro to m1.small? Or better yet, selectively
increase sizes of nodes.

Thanks,
PD.

Right now Whirr can only deploy clusters with a single type of instances as
specified by whirr.hardware-id.

After a cluster is started Whirr allows a user to either run scripts on the
remote nodes or destroy the cluster.

We are working on adding the ability to resize running clusters:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-214

I encourage you to take the lead on adding a feature that allows a user to
specify a
different instance type for each template group. I think we need a new property
like this:

whirr.hardware-id.hadoop-namenode+hadoop-jobtracker=m2.xlarge

Start from ClusterSpec.java
