Description:
Customer wants a fallback scenario when starting mysqld with "--ndbcluster". If the mysqld server does not succeed in connecting to ndbcluster, it should start anyway when the connection attempt has timed out giving a warning that the ndblucster is not contactable. There are cases where it is better to start the mysqld server than not to have it started (e.g, some tables that might be critical might be stored in innodb)

How to repeat:
mysqld --ndblcuster

if ndbcluster is not started then mysqld crashes.

A fix for this probelm has been commited to mysql-4.1-ndb

This problem is now fixed in mysql-4.1. 

The MySQL Server can start without connection to ndb_mgmd ot ndbd(s). It will the connect as soon as the cluster is started.
