Brock Noland commented on HIVE-4920:
------------------------------------

It varies quite a bit but I think it averages to about $1-2 per hour. The past 
few days there have been large spikes in the prices of spot instances which 
results in our slave instances being terminated. See attached.

c1.xlarge seems to be more stable but also in less supply. I think that I will 
change to using c1.xlarge and then if fallback to m1.xlarge and then to 
on-demand instances.

> Today the price for m1.xlarge instances has been varying dramatically. We
