May 13, 2016 at 19:10 comment added Nick Chammas @SandeepanNath - Sorry, I'm not that familiar with Facebook's tool and so can't point you to more resources. I read an announcement about it and posted my comment years ago, but I've never used it.
May 13, 2016 at 18:58 comment added Sandeepan Nath @NickChammas Thanks for sharing that. I have a lot of questions on it. Could you please suggest a more detailed tutorial, a video preferably, which explains the things like bit log, non clustered indexes, and answers questions like - 1. How will selecting data from source table into an outfile reduce load as compared to copying to destination table directly. 2. When will the copy phase end? These are only a few questions I have and I have only started reading it.
