Re: Mysql NDB cluster - Big import fail

[Ted Wennmark]

Hello Cesar,

Sorry to hear you are having problems importing your dumpfile.

mysqldump uses large extended inserts by default, this is most likely the problems you are facing. This works for InnoDB but NDB is not that good with large transactions.

You can work around this by creating a new dumpfile. You have 2 options, either remove extended inserts completely:
mysqldump --extended-insert=0
Or you can set "net_buffer_length" to control the size of the extended inserts:
mysqldump --net_buffer_length=4096

I would try to set net_buffer_length=4096 and re-run the import.
You can run a grep to see how many inserts are created: grep -c INSERT slabb.dump

As Jon suggested, another options is to first import data into InnoDB and then run alter table and set engine to NDB.

Have a good day!

Kind Regards,
Ted
