First of all, an important part of the question is the JDBC driver support and it appears that you can use JDBC (Connector/J) with MySQL Cluster (see this blog post) so one can imagine declaring such a JDBC URL in Hibernate’s configuration.
Then, my understanding of the MySQL Cluster Overview is that data nodes are seen as a whole (from the documentation, if one application updates the salary of an employee, all other MySQL servers that query this data can see this change immediately) so Hibernate should be happy with that.
However, if you want to have Hibernate create tables using the NDB engine, you’ll need a special dialect (see HHH-1496). Nothing complicated though.
So in theory, everything seems ok. In practice, I don’t have any experience with such a setup.
