Yeah Drupal will work with MySQL cluster, but its not very practical. Considering the number of tables in Drupal and how quickly datasets can grow you start seeing performance issues, plus you also need to keep dumping more memory into the cluster to store the tables. One thing you can do to help alleviate this is using an external caching mechanism like memcached to handle all Drupal's caching.

A better solution (and one used by a lot of high traffic Drupal sites including Drupal.org) is to use database replication. Drupal doesn't support this out of the box (yet), but there are patches available that will make it work. Tag1 has a decent patch that I have used before without any problems:

Hello,

I want to install Drupal with MySQL Cluster.

Can Drupal be installed with MySQL Cluster?

If not, does anybody know when will Drupal support MySQL Cluster?

Drupal uses the PHP interface to MySQL. If MySQL Cluster works with PHP then it should work with Drupal.
