How does it know what to cluster by? Does it gather statistics about query patterns on which it can decide an optimal clustering, or does it merely follow a clustering previously set up by the user?
Nothing fancy, InnoDB ALWAYS clusters on the primary key, whatever it is. So, if you can hack your stuff into having a primary key that clusters nicely, good for you. If not, well... So, I used (topic_id, post_id) as the PK, even though it isn't the real PK (this should be post_id)...
