Re: [Maria-discuss] can we use load data infile from moving a database to a 4 node cluster

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?

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.

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
