Claim 16:
17. A computer program product for edge node autonomy, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by one or more processors, the program instructions executable to:
for a first edge node of a plurality of edge nodes in a federation in a distributed computing framework, receive a request to be sent to a central node in the distributed computing framework;
determine whether the federation is connected to the central node;
in response to determining that the federation is not connected to the central node, determine whether a controller capable of processing the request is available in the federation;
in response to determining that the controller capable of processing the request is available in the federation, notify the controller to process the request; and
wherein the first edge node comprises a message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) module, the program instructions further executable to:
during a disconnection period in which the federation is not connected to the central node, receive a plurality of requests in sequence;
push the plurality of the requests into the MQTT module in sequence; and
in response to a reconnection between the federation and the central node after the disconnection period, send the plurality of the requests in the MQTT module to the central node in sequence.
