[jira] [Created] (WHIRR-331) Add the ability to specify tarball URLs that are local to the remote machine

Add the ability to specify tarball URLs that are local to the remote machine
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WHIRR-331
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-331
             Project: Whirr
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Andrei Savu
            Assignee: Andrei Savu
             Fix For: 0.6.0


It takes some time to download the tarballs on the remote machines. I believe it would be useful if we could specify URLs that are local to the remote machine (e.g remote:///tarballs/zookeeper-3.3.3.tar.gz). This feature could allow users to create AMIs that already contain all the required files for the install phase.

Tom White commented on WHIRR-331:
---------------------------------

Could we just use file:// URLs, rather than inventing a scheme? Currently if you specify a file:// URL Whirr will look for the file on the launch machine, copy it to a blobstore, then download it to the launched instances. We could change the semantics so that if it wasn't found locally it would assume that it will be found on the launched instances.

bg. Could we just use file:// URLs, rather than inventing a scheme? 

This could be confusing and error-prone but I'm fine with either way of doing things.

Tom White commented on WHIRR-331:
---------------------------------

I agree it could be confusing to use file:// in this case (e.g. misconfiguration of the local file) and am fine with remote://.
