the "closest" DB node. There is a heuristics for closeness based on
the type of transporter connection. In order of closest first, we have
SCI, SHM, TCP/IP (localhost), and TCP/IP (remote host). If there are several
connections available with the same "closeness", they will each be
selected in a round robin fashion for every transaction. Optionally

The default method is round robin where each set of new transactions
is placed on the next NDB kernel node.
By providing a distribution key (usually the primary key
of the mostly used table of the transaction) for a record
the transaction will be placed on the node where the primary replica
of that record resides.
Note that this is only a hint, the system can
be under reconfiguration and then the NDB API
will use select the transaction coordinator without using
this hint.
