+### attempt-instant-ddl
+
+MySQL 8.0 supports "instant DDL" for some operations. If an alter statement can be completed with instant DDL, only a metadata change is required internally. Instant operations include:
+
+- Adding a column
+- Dropping a column
+- Dropping an index
+- Extending a varchar column
+- Adding a virtual generated column
+
+It is not reliable to parse the `ALTER` statement to determine if it is instant or not. This is because the table might be in an older row format, or have some other incompatibility that is difficult to identify.
+
+`--attempt-instant-ddl` is disabled by default, but the risks of enabling it are relatively minor: `gh-ost` may need to acquire a metadata lock at the start of the operation. This is not a problem for most scenarios, but it could be a problem for users that start the DDL during a period with long running transactions.
+
+`gh-ost` will automatically fallback to the normal DDL process if the attempt to use instant DDL is unsuccessful.

+In this migration, the _before_ and _after_ versions contain the same unique not-null key (the PRIMARY KEY). To run this migration, `gh-ost` would iterate through the `tbl` table using the primary key, copy rows from `tbl` to the _ghost_ table `_tbl_gho` in primary key order, while also applying the binlog event writes from `tbl` onto `_tbl_gho`.
 
 The applying of the binlog events is what requires the shared unique key. For example, an `UPDATE` statement to `tbl` translates to a `REPLACE` statement which `gh-ost` applies to `_tbl_gho`. A `REPLACE` statement expects to insert or replace an existing row based on its row's values and the table's unique key constraints. In particular, if inserting that row would result in a unique key violation (e.g., a row with that primary key already exists), it would _replace_ that existing row with the new values.
