bootstrap action python libraries are getting over written by Amazon EMR default libraries

Question

I am trying to provision EMR with python libraries like numpy=1.19.5 and pandas. I am doing it via bootstrap script. But some how the bootstrap values are getting over written. To avoid this i have followed this particular [https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/emr-install-python-libraries](doc). Now i am using the script as the bootstrap action file. Now the NODEPROVISIONSTATE forever in  PENDING state. 
I have gone through logs /var/log/bootstrap-actions/1/ I don't see any errors or warnings there.

But later cluster got terminated with the below error.

`On the master instance (i-****), bootstrap action 1 timed out executing`

Answer

A way to go may be to use the script as a Step in EMR instead of a bootstrap script. I had also an issue with files getting overriden  and it helped. Some clues on steps and

Thank you for reaching to re:Post with your concerns.

I understand that you were able to resolve the issue after placing the bootstrap action file in the background  as mentioned in the documentation -   https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/emr-install-python-libraries.

Please feel free to update this post if you are still facing issue related to this.
