@ -71,7 +71,8 @@ A `gh-ost` execution need to copy whatever rows you have in your existing table
`gh-ost` also supports the `--exact-rowcount` flag. When this flag is given, two things happen:
- An initial, authoritative `select count(*) from your_table`.
This query may take a long time to complete, but is performed before we begin the massive operations.
When `--concurrent-rowcount` is also specified, this runs in paralell to row copy.
When `--concurrent-rowcount` is also specified, this runs in parallel to row copy.
Note: `--concurrent-rowcount` now defaults to `true`.
- A continuous update to the estimate as we make progress applying events.
We heuristically update the number of rows based on the queries we process from the binlogs.
