Various embodiments of systems and methods for managing a plurality of nodes in a distributed computing environment are described herein. Initially a request to process a to-be-processed request is received. Next one or more nodes from a plurality of nodes, included in a cluster, is identified to process the to-be-processed request. Next the to-be-processed request is divided into a plurality of sub-requests. Next the plurality of sub-requests are assigned to the identified one or more nodes and the generated additional node. A node failure of one of the one or more identified nodes is identified. Finally, one or more of the plurality of sub-requests assigned to the failed node is re-assigned to another node of the plurality of nodes.
