Introduction to MySQL Clusters

Due to lack of concise information on putting together a MySQL Cluster I’ve decided to assemble a step-by-step guide. On the high level, here are the steps:

1. Compiling from the sources
2. Setting up a basic 4-machine cluster
3. Adding a new Application Server to the cluster
4. Adding a new Management Server to the cluster
5. Adding a new cluster group consisting of two ndb nodes
6. Adding a Proxy Server
7. Testing the MySQL cluster
8. Backing up and Restoring from backup
9. Replacing a broken ndb server with a new one
10. Moving MySQL 4.1 MyISAM to a MySQL Cluster ndbcluster
