The previous fix was too aggressive - calling get_row_count() on every batch
meant executing COUNT(*) on a 14M row table for each batch. With a typical
batch size of ~10k rows and consolidation ratio of ~10:1, this meant:
- ~500-1000 batches total
- ~500k COUNT(*) queries on a huge table = completely destroyed performance
New approach:
- Keep local accumulator for migrated count (fast)
- Update total_rows_migrated to DB only every 10 batches (reduces COUNT(*) 50x)
- Update last_migrated_id on every batch via UPDATE (fast, no COUNT)
- Do final COUNT(*) at end of migration for accurate total
This maintains accuracy while being performant. The local count is reliable
because we're tracking inserts in a single sequential migration.
