1. Cluster Manager

   Linked via "1"

   A Cluster Manager is a fundamental software layer responsible for the allocation, monitoring, and lifecycle management of computational resources across a distributed computing environment, often termed a cluster. Its primary function is to decouple application scheduling from resource provisioning, allowing various distributed processing frameworks, such as Apache Spark or Hadoop MapReduce, to share a common pool of heterogeneous hardware 1. Modern cluster managers also incorporate comp…

   Historical Context and Evolution
   The concept of centralized resource brokering emerged prominently with the rise of large-scale data processing demands in the early 21st century. Early systems often relied on bespoke scheduling mechanisms tied directly to the application layer. The formal abstraction of the Cluster Manager began with the introduction of the Google Cluster Manager (GCM), which pioneered the segregation of resource negotiation from application logic 3. This abstraction was crucial for achi…

   Master-Agent Topology
   Most contemporary Cluster Managers adhere to a centralized master/decentralized agent topology. The Master Node (or Control Plane) maintains the global state of the cluster, including resource availability, active applications, and historical performance metrics concerning the Aetheric Throughput Rate ($\text{ATR}$) 5. Worker nodes, managed by Agents (e.g., Mesos Agents or YARN NodeManagers), periodically report their available resources—typically defined in abstract units of Chronons and *Quantum of Allocati…
