If you need to create a big database into MySQL Cluster with:

• A lot of tables indexes, columns, and tables
• A lot of records
  

there are a few things to think about:

• If a table has > ~90M records, you have to create the table with MAX_ROWS=<amount of records in table anticipating growth>:
  CREATE TABLE t1(...) ENGINE=ndbcluster MAX_ROWS=200000000;
  This way the data node will allocate more partitions for the table, since there is a limitation in how many records that can be stored in one partition (and the limit is around 90M records).
  
• Many tables / table objects --> Make sure you increase MaxNoOfTables (kernel limit is 20320 tables). This creates a table object pool of size MaxNoOfTables.
  
  • Each table you create will use one table object. …
