i have now been experimenting with mysql server 5.0.32 (or something
like that) and things have improved. yesterday i did all kinds of
tricks to a two ndb node cluster and didn't manage to break it.
sometimes though it took a quite long time to get the cluster initially
up starting to count when all processes were running.
also, i think that one still cannot alter ndb tables on the fly so
upgrading to next openser version will be a big hassle that no-one would
like to have in production environment.
so apart from alter table hassle, perhaps mysql cluster would now be
ready for prime time.
Hi Juha,
nice to hear that they improved the stability of this stuff.
it seems that in the upcomming 5.1 release online schema updates will be
possible.
