Managing large-scale data import in TiDB requires specialized tools and strategies due to its distributed architecture. Unlike traditional databases, TiDB must efficiently distribute data across multiple nodes while maintaining consistency and performance. TiDB Lightning is the primary high-performance tool designed for bulk data ingestion, supporting formats like CSV, Parquet, and Dumpling exports. It offers two import modes: physical mode for maximum speed during initial loads and logical mode for safer imports into active production environments. Additionally, TiDB introduces IMPORT INTO, a SQL-based import method that simplifies data loading for moderate datasets with minimal setup. This guide covers TiDB Lightning architecture, import modes, performance comparisons, complete migration workflows, and best practices to help you efficiently manage large amounts of data, avoid common failures, and choose the right import strategy for your use case.
