The situation for which I hope to use MySQL cluster, we have 100+
webservers each with persistent connections to many separate databases,
one or more of which will hopefully become clusters. Currently, mysql is
running only as the database servers and we are using our own connection
pooling functions (tied to php) to maintain persistent connections from
each webserver to each database server.
Following the model that you're talking about here, if I understand it
correctly, for my situation I would need to have each webserver running
as an API node. Will the DB be able to handle connections from 200+ API
nodes? And will each API node be able to connect to multiple clusters?
Would this be done by having one NDB table on each API node for each
cluster that it needs to connect to?
