Optimizing XML-to-MySQL Import: Reducing Execution Time from 300 s to 4 s with Batch Processing and Multithreading
This article details how to dramatically speed up importing over 60,000 XML records into MySQL by profiling the original 300‑second implementation, enabling JDBC batch writes, configuring MySQL rewriteBatchedStatements, and applying a Disruptor‑based multithreaded pipeline, ultimately achieving sub‑5‑second runtimes with modest memory usage.
