unfortunately no, you can't do that. your cluster needs to be empty. Maybe have a look at mydumper/myloader that has parallel dump and restore capabilities? Regards GL On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 10:30 AM bbnlaccts acnts <bbnlaccts@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Arun,

Galera requires only InnoDB tables, so the fastest way would be to take an Xtrabackup snapshot of your MariaDB 10 standalone database, restore it on one node of the Galera cluster and then turn on the 3 other nodes.

Of course LOAD DATA INFILE is supported by Galera, but it would be slower.

Hi, I am planning on moving a mariadb 10 database to a 4 node galera cluster. Since the db is kind of big with around 40 gigs capacity and i am getting very less maintenance window to complete this activity. Hence planning on using load data infile on alll the big tables.

Can anybody please do let me know if i am going to see any drawbacks/bugs in this concept. Are there any precautionary measures i need to take in order to accomplish this task.

Your help is greatly appreciated
