I have been trying to find out if it is possible to do table partitioning with disk based tables in MySQL Cluster. I want to store a large table on disk, and do range partitioning on the table. I have a feeling the answer is no.

Thanks for any info you can offer.

Mike.

A: 

Any columns that are not indexed can be stored to disk with MySQL Cluster (since about a year ago or so I think).

Weird - why did that deserve a minus-karma?

Looks like only partitioning by key is supported for cluster, whether in memory or on disk: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/partitioning-limitations-storage-engines.html
