Claim 5:
6. A system for accessing data nodes of a data cluster, comprising:
a processor;
a data access gateway (DAG), which when executed by the processor performs a method, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a data access gateway (DAG), a first request of a request type of request types from a host, wherein the request types comprises read requests, write requests, update requests, information requests, and deletion requests; and
in response to the first request:
obtaining first bidding counters from the data nodes, wherein the first bidding counters comprise numerical representations of a computational, network, and storage resources of the data nodes available to service the first request;
identifying, based on the first bidding counters, a first data node of the data nodes associated with a highest bidding counter of the first bidding counters, wherein the first data node is associated with a highest amount of available computational, network, and storage resources, as specified by the highest bidding counter, compared to other data nodes of the data nodes;
sending the first request to the first data node; and
making a first determination that the first data node is able to service the first request.
