Delete Cluster Task

The Delete Cluster task terminates and deletes a Hadoop cluster on a cloud platform.

If you do not add a Delete Cluster task in a cluster workflow, the cluster remains running when the workflow ends.

A cluster that you create and then terminate when jobs are complete is called an ephemeral cluster.

Set the following properties for the Delete Cluster task:

•In the General properties, optionally rename the Delete Cluster task.
•In the Advanced properties, set the Task Recovery Strategy property to Restart task.
