I don't see any point in the extra level of nesting you have here, vs
using NumaOptions as the data directly eg

   {
     'command': 'set-numa-node',
     'data': 'NumaOptions'              
   }

I think the union gets flattenned - ie you probably want

   { "execute": "set-numa-node", "arguments": { "cmd": { "type": "node", "nodeid": 1 } } }

Though with my suggestion above you could get it to just

   { "execute": "set-numa-node", "arguments": { "type": "node", "nodeid": 1 } }
