BTW load data infile is staying, I believe it was the local version that was up for grabs. I could have this backwards.

Are you a huge fan of the IGNORE keyword?

I personally (and my company) use the crap out of it. Along with LOAD DATA INFILE that was previously discussed. If one or the other goes away, do we have alternatives?

Think I've used INSERT IGNORE INTO ... SELECT FROM ... a bunch to collapse data. There isn't really a way to handle bailouts in the middle, nor is it always reasonable to adjust all of the data first. ie; You want the constraint on one table but not another, for different views of the data.

We could potentially get by without using INSERT IGNORE in mogilefs by handling and ignoring the errors... but bulk requeue attempts would bail out in the middle, so we'd have to only do one at a time, which is slow.
