I think you need to be more specific about what you're trying to do.
'clustering' encompasses so many things that it means almost nothing by

slony provides facilities for replicating data. Its primary purpose is
to improve reliability. MPP distributes both data and queries. Its
primary purpose is to improve performance for a subset of all query types.
