User defined partitioning available in source downloadable 5.1 tree

[Mikael Ronström]

Hi,
The first parts of the 5.1 development is coming on-line. The first part is the partitioning
work which makes it possible to define the partitioning scheme of clustered tables.
Thus you can now define a range partitioned table and decide which partitions goes to
which node groups.

This is available in the 5.1 source tree now available as source code.

Check out the forum on partitioning for more details on what partitioning can be used,
documentation of it has just started.

PS: The other parts of the 5.1 cluster development is made available as soon as it is
deemed stable enough for first trials which should be not far away at all.
