Ability to modify Spark Shuffle/Master/History Services individually in the Service Profile

Bank of America needs to apply SPARK_DAEMON_MEMORY to individually service since Spark Shuffle/Master/History have different memory requirements. In the spark configuration, SPARK_DAEMON_MEMORY is applied to all at the same time. BofA would also like to set Host Affinity settings. BofA attempted to apply these settings individually in the associated service profile which seemed to work until the next SIG Deployment. Once deployment was complete, the associated EGO Service Profiles were overwritten causing customer to loose their settings. BofA would like a way to permanently apply these configurations individually. Currently it seems there is no good way to do this.
