I think they are trying to get out of having all of the data in memory ...

The one slick part of ~newer~ versions is autodiscovery ...

-snip-
Autodiscovery of databases is now supported for multiple MySQL servers accessing the same MySQL Cluster, provided that a given mysqld is already running and is connected to the cluster at the time that the database is created on a different mysqld.

Dave,

This might be a little off topic, but I'm wondering if anyone has
experience with MySQL clustering?

I do...

I'm working with a System Administrator to architect a failover
solution and he's under the impression that we need MySQL HA, but I
don't see that product offered on mysql.com, all I see are MySQL
Cluster, and MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade.

Also, what are the limitations/requirements for deploying a cluster
into production? Is this something easy to setup, or worth hiring a
consultant for?

Clustering can be a little tricky.  For one thing, it's a RAM based
database, so capacity planning is important. It's fairly straightforward to
set up, but not as simple as MySQL itself.

I think I'm actually speaking with someone from Columbia about cluster next
week.
