Changelog

[Current] - 2025-12-30

Added

• Consolidation-based incremental migration: Uses consolidation keys (UnitName, ToolNameID, EventDate, EventTime) instead of timestamps
• MySQL ID optimization: Uses MAX(mysql_max_id) from PostgreSQL to filter MySQL queries, avoiding full table scans
• State management in PostgreSQL: Replaced JSON file with migration_state table for more reliable tracking
• Sync utility: Added scripts/sync_migration_state.py to sync state with actual data
• Performance optimization: MySQL queries now instant using PRIMARY KEY filter
• Better documentation: Consolidated and updated all documentation files

Changed

• Incremental migration: Now uses consolidation keys instead of timestamp-based approach
• Full migration: Improved to save global last_key after completing all partitions
• State tracking: Moved from migration_state.json to PostgreSQL table migration_state
• Query performance: Added min_mysql_id parameter to fetch_consolidation_keys_after() for optimization
• Configuration: Renamed BATCH_SIZE to CONSOLIDATION_GROUP_LIMIT to better reflect what it controls
• Configuration: Added PROGRESS_LOG_INTERVAL to control logging frequency
• Configuration: Added BENCHMARK_OUTPUT_DIR to specify benchmark results directory
• Documentation: Updated README.md, MIGRATION_WORKFLOW.md, QUICKSTART.md, EXAMPLE_WORKFLOW.md with current implementation

Removed

• migration_state.json: Replaced by PostgreSQL table
• Timestamp-based migration: Replaced by consolidation key-based approach
• ID-based resumable migration: Consolidated into single consolidation-based approach
• Temporary debug scripts: Cleaned up all /tmp/ debug files

Fixed

• Incremental migration performance: MySQL queries now ~1000x faster with ID filter
• State synchronization: Can now sync migration_state with actual data using utility script
• Duplicate handling: Uses ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING to prevent duplicates
• Last key tracking: Properly updates global state after full migration

Migration Guide (from old to new)

If you have an existing installation with migration_state.json:

1. Backup your data (optional but recommended):

   cp migration_state.json migration_state.json.backup
   

2. Run full migration to populate migration_state table:

   python main.py migrate full
   

3. Sync state (if you have existing data):

   python scripts/sync_migration_state.py
   

4. Remove old state file:

   rm migration_state.json
   

5. Run incremental migration:

   python main.py migrate incremental --dry-run
   python main.py migrate incremental
   

Performance Improvements

• MySQL query time: From 60+ seconds to <0.1 seconds (600x faster)
• Consolidation efficiency: Multiple MySQL rows → single PostgreSQL record
• State reliability: PostgreSQL table instead of JSON file

Breaking Changes

• --state-file parameter removed from incremental migration (no longer uses JSON)
• --use-id flag removed (consolidation-based approach is now default)
• Incremental migration requires full migration to be run first
• BATCH_SIZE environment variable renamed to CONSOLIDATION_GROUP_LIMIT (update your .env file)
