trying to use in EUZone - for a newbie

[pixiesimon]

I am a new starter, and I am trying to specify a location and I am not making much progress.

an example

SimonsCluster <- createCluster(numInstances=5,location="us-west-1")
Error in .jcall("RJavaTools", "Ljava/lang/Object;", "invokeMethod", cl,  :
  Status Code: 400, AWS Service: AmazonElasticMapReduce, AWS Request ID: 2c6c2a9f-f368-11e1-99c9-37653ff1c17d, AWS Error Code: ValidationError, AWS Error Message: Specified Availability Zone is not supported

or

SimonsCluster <- createCluster(numInstances=5,location="eu-west-1a")
Error in .jcall("RJavaTools", "Ljava/lang/Object;", "invokeMethod", cl,  :
  Status Code: 400, AWS Service: AmazonElasticMapReduce, AWS Request ID: 0e4189cd-f368-11e1-8a8a-89109e063582, AWS Error Code: ValidationError, AWS Error Message: Specified Availability Zone is not supported

doesnt work, its probably my syntax, its all new to me

I can get it to work using the default region is US-east, but would prefer it to be the EU for many reasons.

thanks

Any updates on this issue? Having the same error for eu-west-1a location?

Another bug - segue won't allow launching m1.small instance because it thinks that m1.small is not a 64bit system, but in fact it is now.

It looks like the location setting is failing because Amazon changed
the AWS API. So now I need to dig into the documentation and see what
the new way of setting location is. At first blush, it's not entirely
obvious.

Thanks for pointing this out.

It looks like this was also the problem here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17622071/indefinite-provisioning-of-emr-cluster-with-segue-in-r/17660786#17660786

Hmmm. So I have no idea what needs to be done in Segue, except that Amazon seems to recommend not setting any default AZ.
