David Alves commented on WHIRR-414:
-----------------------------------

Something simple such as a property should suffice at this point, like whirr.kill-all-on-launch-failure, true by default.

I can have a stab at it if you are busy Andrei (even in case we decide just to plainly kill all I can update the patch).

> Whirr can fail to completely start a cluster and indicates this with a non-zero return code. In many (currently intermittent) partial failure scenarios, there are resources still active (EC2 machine instances, in my experience) that are not cleaned up. 
> The log contains "IOException: Too many instance failed while bootstrapping!" when I have seen orphaned nodes.
> A non-zero return code should guarantee that all resources are cleaned up.  Without this post-condition, these failures require manual inspection and cleanup to stop useless expenses (which is why I marked this bug critical; it needs to be addressed for any kind of cron job triggered whirr).
