Claim:
1. A method comprising: establishing, by a master node in a cluster of nodes, a spillover limit for the cluster, the spillover limit comprising a limit on a use of a resource across the cluster; establishing, by the master node, a first quota threshold for each of the nodes in the cluster based on the spillover limit, the first quota threshold comprising an allocation of a portion of the spillover limit for use of the resource; receiving, by the master node responsive to sending a quota request of each of the other nodes, a reply from each of the other nodes identifying a quota value, wherein the quota value comprises a used portion of the allocation; and determining, by the master node, an unused quota value for the cluster based on the spillover limit for the cluster and a sum of the received quota values from each of the nodes in the cluster; and determining, by the master node, a second quota threshold to re-allocate the portion of the spillover limit for each of the nodes, based on the unused quota value for the cluster determined from the received quota value from each of the nodes.
