Description

If these people can get ~200k database inserts/second: https://www.percona.com/blog/2011/01/07/high-rate-insertion-with-mysql-and-innodb/
...we should be able to also.

This is what the mysql command would look like:

Here is some testing I did with bulk insert queries for uploadRelion3DRefine that look like

LOAD DATA INFILE '/gpfs/appion/cnegro/17jun23d/extract/relion3drefine15/testbulklist3M.txt'
INTO TABLE nyap_243.`ApParticleData`
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
IGNORE 1 LINES;

Inserted Rows / Query Time (sec)
97478 / 2.7635
1072268 / 38.3927
3216806 / 132.6572

Then I converted the database engine for apParticleData to Innodb (this only effects the table for the individual processing db, not all of the processing db's):

Inserted Rows / Query Time (sec)
97478 / 10.0635
1072268 / 127.5264
3216806 / 384.3908

This is slower, but it should get faster than MYISAM when we have optimized some settings. InnoDB also has the ability to execute atomic transactions.
