True VARCHAR support in MySQL Cluster 5.1 now in tree

True VARCHAR support has been added to the 5.1 tree now which is downloadable
as source code and can be played with.

This means that saving the string "ABCDE" in a VARCHAR(255) will consume 7 bytes of
memory space instead of 256 bytes previously.

Already since a few months manual partitioning has been added to the 5.1 source tree.

Check manual for instructions of how to build from development tree if you are interested in
trying it out.
