A lot really depends on your specific cluster setup (cluster in the common
sense; not the Microsoft one which tries to redefine "cluster" to mean
"hot standby").

For example, if your cluster relies on MPI you need to adapt your plugins
to make use of that.  I am just about to set up something like this, using
mpiJava (even if there is MPJ, I hear, which does not need JNI, and is
therefore easier to install).

But there are a lot of different cluster setups out there, some as simple
as using ssh to distribute jobs, some very sophisticated, trying to
imitate a single multi-core processor.

So it really depends.  Without more information from your side, I am
afraid there is nothing I can do to help.
