I recently saw and article that says MySQL will be shipping its cluster software starting April 14th during the Users Conference & Expo this year. Does anyone have any information about this? My company is considering using the Emic clustering software. Has anyone had experience with that? Will the MySQL branded one be better?
I've tried to set up EMIC clustering once for an experiment. Unfortunately, it required more system configuration changes that I was willing to implement.
Cannot say much about what is coming from MySQL, but being open-source is a big plus. This means quicker user base growth, and wider and more in-depth testing. Additionally, MySQL has a reputation for a quick turnaround on bugs, which is still the case, even though the company has gotten quite a bit bigger and a lot more commercial business-oriented.
I would, however, not try to depend on either for your application if at all possible, and build a simple custom solution yourself instead. Clustering for a known system is a much easier problem that building a generic cluster - you can take many application-specific shortcuts that would not be acceptable in a general case.
