A method for executing a computing application within a distributed data environment, the distributed data environment comprising a plurality of clusters, a plurality of client-devices, and a master-node, each of the master-node, a plurality of name-nodes, each of the plurality of name-nodes further including a processor, and a plurality of data-nodes including executable code embodied in non-transitory computer readable medium, the code, when executed, configured to drive executions of a plurality of software applications within a plurality of hierarchical layers;

• wherein:
• each cluster comprises one of the plurality of name-nodes, at least a subset of the plurality of data-nodes, and a dataset including information distributed among a plurality of blocs, each bloc including memory residing on at least one of the data-nodes, the method comprising:
• using each of the processors included each of the name-nodes to:
• receive, and reply to, requests for reading access and writing access to the dataset,
• monitor its own operability and operability of each data-node with which it is associated,
• monitor a used capacity and an overall capacity of the plurality of blocs, and
• instruct the at least one of the plurality of data-nodes of the cluster to create, delete, or replicate blocs in correspondence with a ratio of the used capacity to the overall capacity, wherein each client-device includes executable code embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the code, when executed, configured to communicate with a name-node of a cluster and make requests for reading access, and optionally for writing access, to the dataset of a cluster;
• and
• performing, using the master-node, a dynamic software patch installation, the performing that includes:
• identifying a single target application selected from the software applications, the target application comprising execution code;
• creating a segment, the segment including when, and which of, each of the software applications is directly called, or is called as a result of a direct call to another software application, by the target application over a pre-defined period of time;
• identifying an optimal time including at least one time interval during which no portion of the segment, other than the target application, will be altered by disabling the target application;
• disabling the target application during the optimal time;
• and
• replacing execution code within the target application with different execution code during the optimal time.

• identifies a single target application selected from the software applications, the target application comprising execution code;
• creates a segment, the segment including when, and which of, each of the software applications is directly called, or is called as a result of a direct call to another software application, by the target application over the course of a pre-defined period of time,
• identifies an optimal time including at least one time interval during which no portion of the segment, other than the target application, will be altered by disabling the target application;
• wherein the master-node is further configured to:
• catalog when, over the pre-defined period of time, one or more client-devices interact with the target application;
• predict a time slot having a low probability of a client interacting with the target application;
• and
• conform the optimal time with the time slot.
