Shawn,
Very Interesting idea. I definitely want to look into this a bit more.
I fear though that the bin-logs might be written first to disk before they
are copied over to the replicas.
Another member of my team mentioned there might be a way to issue direct
MyISAM table INSERTS. She suggested that we could bypass the parsing and
param checking of our large string-based INSERT queries.
Since our sampling application can guarantee the inputs on the INSERT, this
would offer us a potential performance boost as there is no reason for
MySQL to verify our INSERT query inputs a second time.
Does anyone know if the direct table/index insert idea is valid?
