[support] Does Drupal support MySQL Cluster?

[Jamie Holly]

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:
