1. A supercluster, comprising:
a plurality of machines;
a publish-subscribe (Pub-Sub) channel to which each of the plurality of machines is subscribed,
wherein each of the plurality of machines is configured to:
publish availability status and resource allocation information to the Pub-Sub channel;
receive availability status and resource allocation information of at least another one of the plurality of machines via the Pub-Sub channel;
forward a request received from a client for content data to the another one of the plurality of machines based on the availability status and the resource allocation information on the Pub-Sub channel.
