JobFlowInstancesDetail

Description

Specify the type of Amazon EC2 instances to run the job flow on.

Contents

NameDescription
Ec2KeyName

The name of an Amazon EC2 key pair that can be used to ssh to the master node of job flow.

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 256.

Ec2SubnetId

For job flows launched within Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, this value specifies the identifier of the subnet where the job flow was launched.

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 256.

HadoopVersion

Specifies the Hadoop version for the job flow.

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 256.

InstanceCount

The number of Amazon EC2 instances in the cluster. If the value is 1, the same instance serves as both the master and slave node. If the value is greater than 1, one instance is the master node and all others are slave nodes.

Type: Integer

InstanceGroups

Details about the job flow's instance groups.

Type: InstanceGroupDetail list

KeepJobFlowAliveWhenNoSteps

Specifies whether or not the job flow should terminate after completing all steps.

Type: Boolean

MasterInstanceId

The Amazon EC2 instance identifier of the master node.

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 10280.

MasterInstanceType

The Amazon EC2 master node instance type.

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

MasterPublicDnsName

The DNS name of the master node.

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 10280.

NormalizedInstanceHours

An approximation of the cost of the job flow, represented in m1.small/hours. This value is incremented once for every hour an m1.small runs. Larger instances are weighted more, so an Amazon EC2 instance that is roughly four times more expensive would result in the normalized instance hours being incremented by four. This result is only an approximation and does not reflect the actual billing rate.

Type: Integer

Placement

Specifies the Amazon EC2 Availability Zone for the job flow.

Type: PlacementType

SlaveInstanceType

The Amazon EC2 slave node instance type.

Type: String

Length constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

TerminationProtected

Specifies whether the Amazon EC2 instances in the cluster are protected from termination by API calls, user intervention, or in the event of a job flow error.

Type: Boolean
