Hadoop & EC2: Adding slaves to an existing cluster

Suppose you have a cluster called my-cluster running, and you wish to add more slaves. This is really easy to do -- simply run


hadoop-ec2 launch-slaves my-cluster 5


to launch 5 additional slaves. It will take a few minutes for the slaves to join the cluster, but you don't need to do anything else.

Stopping nodes is more complicated.
