No, but we really need to go back a step and look at your basic  
requirements, before discussing technologies that might fit those  
requirements.

What do you need to do, in terms of overall profile: reads vs writes,  
their absolute and relative numbers and growth projection, dataset  
size and growth, schema and whether you need lots of joins, and so on.
Once you have that info, you can see what technologies might be  
suitable for the purpose.

Just looking for something with the term "clustering" makes no sense,  
not least because the term is overloaded and means something else for  
each architecture (think oracle cluster, ndb cluster, and so on -  
completely different).

Arjen.
