Patent number: 9916188Abstract: A processing device executing a provisioner requests a node level task from a server. The processing device receives an assignment of a first node level task, wherein the first node level task is associated with a cluster management operation for a first cluster. The processing device determines a first plugin capable of performing the first node level task from a plurality of plugins, wherein each of the plurality of plugins comprises a self-contained program for performing a specific set of node level tasks. The processing device performs the first node level task by the first plugin, wherein the first node level task is an operation on a remote target host that does not include software associated with the provisioner. The processing device reports a result of the node level task to the server.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: CASK DATA, INC.Inventors: Albert Yen Shau, Christopher Gianelloni, Derek Lewis Wood, Jonathan Michael Gray, Nitin Motgi, Poorna Chandra Gowda Bannikkuppe Ramachandra, Rohit Sarma Nistala
