Description:
using 2 identical Dell 1850s, dual xeon 8Gb ram, each running mysqld, ndbd ndb_mgmd. During load testing the cluster fails sporadically with the error
2006-01-30 11:04:44,133 ERROR [http-8080-Processor60]:xmlRequest line:383 java.sql.SQLException: Got error 1 'Unknown error code' from ndbcluster
the load test consists of selects, updates and inserts over four tables each using the ndbcluster engine. There doesn't seem to be a problem when not running under load, the errors occurr with about 100 concurrent web users, each web request spawning 2 selects, and 3 inserts/updates . Using innodb tables in place of ndbcluster solves the problem and also causes the whole app to run approximately twice as fast, but we need the clustering.
We're using the latest version of connectorJ from tomcat5.5.12
Any help would be appreciated as we launch our product the day after tomorrow!

# Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)
#
# To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between
# two methods :
#
# 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -
# the syntax is:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>,
# MASTER_USER=<user>, MASTER_PASSWORD=<password> ;
#
# where you replace <host>, <user>, <password> by quoted strings and
# <port> by the master's port number (3306 by default).
#
# Example:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,
# MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';
#
# OR
#
# 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then
# start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example
# if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to
# connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later
# change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and
# overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown
# the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.
# For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched
# (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)
#
# required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1
# (and different from the master)
# defaults to 2 if master-host is set
# but will not function as a slave if omitted
#server-id = 2
#
# The replication master for this slave - required
#master-host = <hostname>
#
# The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting
# to the master - required
#master-user = <username>
#
# The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to
# the master - required
#master-password = <password>
#
# The port the master is listening on.
# optional - defaults to 3306

How to repeat:
create a cluster across 2 RedHat Enterprise linux machines, each 8Gb RAM, dual xeon. Use tomcat with approx 100 concurrent users each user spawning 2 select and 3 insert/updates across 4 tables on the cluster.
