-### Fast insert
-
-Fast insert accelerates parallel inserts sorted by primary key and applies specifically to `LOAD DATA` and `INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...` statements. Fast insert caches the position of a cursor in an index traversal while executing the statement. This avoids unnecessarily traversing the index again.
-
-Fast insert is enabled only for regular InnoDB tables in Aurora MySQL version 3.03.2 and higher. This optimization doesn’t work for InnoDB temporary tables. It's disabled in Aurora MySQL version 2 for all 2.11 and 2.12 versions. Fast insert optimization works only if Adaptive Hash Index optimization is disabled.
-
-You can monitor the following metrics to determine the effectiveness of fast insert for your DB cluster:
-
-  * `aurora_fast_insert_cache_hits`: A counter that is incremented when the cached cursor is successfully retrieved and verified. 
-
-  * `aurora_fast_insert_cache_misses`: A counter that is incremented when the cached cursor is no longer valid and Aurora performs a normal index traversal.
-

-
-You can retrieve the current value of the fast insert metrics using the following command:
-    
-    
-    mysql> show global status like 'Aurora_fast_insert%';
