Hi!

If cluster was solid and feature par with MyISAM there's nothing preventing existing customers from upgrading.

Thoughts?

I have got one word for you: performance. One of the strengths of MySQL is that pluggable storage engines allow you to focus on your application's needs. Why waste precious CPU cycles in cluster concurrency code when you have only one node? A MyISAM table will IMO always give you faster SELECTs than a single node cluster. That's simply because there's so much work to do to make a cluster reliable.

Besides: I don't see what one woulld gain by giving up the other engines.

Regards,

Phil
