16.10. MySQL Cluster Development Roadmap
In this section, we discuss changes in the implementation of MySQL
Cluster in MySQL 5.1 as compared to MySQL
5.0. We will also discuss our roadmap for further
improvements to MySQL Cluster as currently planned for MySQL
5.2.
There are relatively few changes between the NDB Cluster storage
engine implementations in MySQL 5.0 and in
5.1, so the upgrade path should be relatively quick
and painless.
All significantly new features being developed for MySQL Cluster
are going into the MySQL 5.1 tree. We also provide some hints
about what Cluster in MySQL 5.1 is likely to include later in this
section (see Section 16.10.2, “MySQL 5.1 Development Roadmap for MySQL Cluster”).
