Abstract
Requests can be routed in a distributed system. When a distributed system includes a core service in which a plurality of plugins run and includes a plurality of clients that run external to the core service, the core service can provide a command router that functions as a common mechanism for routing requests to the plugins. The command router can provide an external endpoint by which the external clients can submit requests to access functionality of the plugins. The command router can also provide an internal endpoint by which the plugins can submit requests to access other plugins. Employing a command router within the core service can facilitate adding and removing plugins.
