Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to provide flexible associativity for multitenant applications operating in clustered computing environments. One such method involves updating a configuration file to produce an updated configuration file by generating new relationship information based on associations between a dependent application represented by a parent object and a dependee application represented by a child object. In certain embodiments, the new relationship information is stored in a metadata object.

Flexible associativity in multitenant clustered environments

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for determining a rigidity associated with a dependent application, wherein the rigidity can be a hard rigidity, a firm rigidity, or a soft rigidity, and wherein these rigidities refer to the dependency between the dependent application and a dependee application. In response to detecting a failure of the dependee application, the disclosure provides for performing an appropriate action with respect to the dependent application, wherein that action is based, at least in part, on the rigidity associated with the dependent application. In certain embodiments, the appropriate action can further be based on a locality parameter associated with the dependent application.

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to provide flexible associativity for multitenant applications operating in clustered computing environments. A configuration file is updated by generating new relationship information based on association(s) between a parent object, that represents a dependent application, and child object(s), that represent dependee application(s). Updating the configuration file produces an updated configuration file. The new relationship information is stored in a metadata object, and the parent object is started based on the updated configuration file.

A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium for automatically performing operations on applications based on dependencies on other applications are disclosed. A command to start a first application can be received. The first application is configured to use data provided by at least one another application. A determination is made whether the first application is configured to use data provided by a second application. This determining is performed in response to a receipt of the command. In response to a determination that the first application is configured to use data provided by the second application, execution of the second application is initiated.
