- Required parameters::

    Jar

- Optional parameters::

    Type, Name, ActionOnFailure, Args

- Output::

    {
        "StepIds":[
            "s-XXXXXXXX",
            "s-YYYYYYYY"
        ]
    }

**2. To add Streaming steps to a cluster**

- Command::

    aws emr add-steps --cluster-id j-XXXXXXXX --steps Type=STREAMING,Name='Streaming Program',ActionOnFailure=CONTINUE,Args=[-files,s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/wordcount/wordSplitter.py,-mapper,wordSplitter.py,-reducer,aggregate,-input,s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/wordcount/input,-output,s3://mybucket/wordcount/output]

- Required parameters::

    Type, Args

- Optional parameters::

    Name, ActionOnFailure

- JSON equivalent (contents of step.json)::

    [
     {
       "Name": "JSON Streaming Step",
       "Args": ["-files","s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/wordcount/wordSplitter.py","-mapper","wordSplitter.py","-reducer","aggregate","-input","s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/wordcount/input","-output","s3://mybucket/wordcount/output"],
       "ActionOnFailure": "CONTINUE",
       "Type": "STREAMING"
     }
   ]

NOTE: JSON arguments must include options and values as their own items in the list. 

- Command (using step.json)::

    aws emr add-steps --cluster-id j-XXXXXXXX --steps file://./step.json

- Output::

    {
        "StepIds":[
            "s-XXXXXXXX",
            "s-YYYYYYYY"
        ]
    }

        "ActionOnFailure": "CONTINUE",
        "Args": [
            "-files",
