Hi James -
I am new user of Segue and I have a question about rObjectsOnNodes. As
I understand it, these are objects passed into the clusters when you
first create them. But is there a way to pass more objects after the
creation of the clusters? For example, suppose I want to do the
following:
result1 <- emrlapply(myCluster, seedList, myfun1)
bigObject <- somefun(result1,...)
result2 <- emrlapply(myCluster, seeList2, myfun2, bigObject)

In this case bigObject is generated after myCluster was created and is
used by myfun2. Is this possible?

Hey Stewart. The use case you lay out is exactly what I wish I could
do with Segue. The problem is, I have not committed the time to figure
out how to upload files to existing nodes using the Amazon API. So, in
short, that isn't possible right now. However if you or someone else
hacked up a solution, I'd love to include it in Segue!
