US Patent 9894147 Application plugin framework for big-data clusters

A system for a cluster application manager includes an input interface, a command determiner, and a node determiner. The input interface is for receiving a first management request for a management function for a first application of a set of different applications. The command determiner is for determining a first management base command for the first management request. A second management base command is the same as the first management base command for a second management request for the management function for a second application of the set of different applications that is different from the first application of the set of different applications. The command determiner is for determining a management command, wherein the management command is based at least in part on the first management base command and the first application. The node determiner is for determining a node of a cluster to send the management command.
