I would like to operate a MediaWiki installation that has two points of
failure instead of the one that you get with a MySQL master/slave setup.
Is it possible to run MediaWiki using a MySQL cluster as its database
storage engine?
If this can't be done, why? What would need to be changed to allow
hosting on a MySQL cluster to be doable? If it can be done, what are
the drawbacks to doing it and why doesn't WikiPedia operate a MySQL
cluster instead of a master/slave replication setup.
