Is there any way to check over the API if a server node has a plugin installed or better which plugins are installed on the node? ---

No, there isn't one..., I guess we can expose it in the nodes info API?

This would be very nice (if possible) ---

Would it make sense that I open a feature request for this on github? ---

Wont it be a better option to replicate plugins also when its added to a single node ??? So what happens would be that when a plugin is added on any of the node , it is copied and bootstrapped to all nodes. Wont it be great if its guaranteed that all the nodes behaves the same way ? ---

Yes, an option to go an fetch plugins from the master node of the cluster when a node joins can be nice, though, I think, in practice, many users already have something similar to that in place for other things, not just elasticsearch (like using chef or puppet).
